Not sure what to say?

I thought of Dr Taylor again just the other day. I've worked with (and been in the care of) many doctors over the years, but Dr Taylor was in a realm above. I went to him when needing GI help in the worst way. Unlike the others, he believed what I knew to be true, and from there he assisted me back to health where I have been able to thrive ever since. He always made so much more of any appointment by adding a word about crate training of dogs, heirloom apples.... The genuine article.

Almost 5 years since we lost Dr. Taylor, and I was just thinking the other day what great rants he would have gone on about the whole Covid situation. If anyone would have a strong opinion on that whole mess, it would have been him! I can kind of hear him in my head saying "This whole situation is just ridiculous, what they SHOULD be doing is this..." That would have been a great conversation!

I´m just now learning of Dr Taylor´s passing. He was an amazing doctor and human being. His kind words, patience, and compassion for human beings, medicine, and life went to the ends of the world. He was one of the best Doctors/Specialists I have ever seen; so good that he fixed me up and after a couple follow ups I never had any reoccurring symptoms and is the reason why I´m just reading about his passing. I use to absolutely love listening to his Ireland accent! My condolences to his wife,...

Because of leaving the area, we just learned of Dr. Taylor´s passing. Both my husband I were long time patients in his practice at Leominster Hospital. A truly excellent doctor, knowledgeable, accessible, understanding. When I as a young stressed exhausted mother and teacher, he diagnosed me with pneumonia, writing a note to make clear to my principal that I was to stay out of school to recuperate, and I would not return until he indicated that I could do so. Rest In Peace, dear doctor.

Still miss you as my doctor. Will always remember your wit, and your kindness and understanding after the sudden death of my young son.

Very sorry to read this about Edmund. Sending condolences to Daphne and the kids. I still tell the Doty of night hunting with Edmund (learned why Daphne always drove!) almost hitting a big sow, nearly being shot at in front of a derelict house and getting lost in the swamp out by the Swift River, all in one night. Godspeed my friend.

I did not know Dr. Taylor, but I recently bought his sailboat, Emma Zeke. I can tell that he took very good care of his boat and I will endeavor to keep it pristine in his memory. I would like to thank Cecily Walsh and family for giving me a good deal on the boat. I'm a fixed income senior and I plan to take Emma Zeke south and live on her long term. I am from Tenants Harbor, Maine. If anybody knows the origin of the name Emma Zeke, I'd be pleased to know. Thanks, and my condolences to your...

So very sorry to hear about Dr. Taylor. My husband and I just heard two weeks ago. He was my father's doctor and later, my husband's. Smart, kind, gentle. Anyone I've mentioned his passing to has expressed sadness and commented about how much they will miss him. We will, as well. The qualities this man embodied can't be taught, but hopefully emulated by others. Many blessings to his family.

So sorry to hear my wonderful doctor has passed. He was truly a wonderful man and I'll miss him and our conversations.
