Hi pops!

Dr. Saylor, by all accounts, was an excellent doctor, an interesting individual and a kind human. May he be at rest and reunited with his son.

I have lived in Lakewood Village almost my whole life and I attended Mark Twain, Bancroft and Lakewood High with his son, Adam. I guess you could say I knew him and his family all my early life due to "Back To School" nights as Adam and I were in a lot of classes together throughout our school years. After my divorce in 1975, I moved back to Lakewood Village with my 2 small daughters and bought a house a few "doors" away from Dr. Saylor's office. I needed a doctor for my family so I picked...

I did not know Dr. Saylor, but I do have an interesting story about him, for anyone who might be interested.

On Feb. 16, 2019 I adopted an abused dog from The Animal Foundation, a shelter in Las Vegas. He looked like a tall bulldog, so we figured he was a mix of some kind. 1.5 years later, I found his adoption paperwork in a file and found his microchip number. I wanted to make sure it was up to date, but noticed when I looked it up online that it was registered with 2 different...

Dr. Saylor was a pioneer and ahead of his time with his health-centered, individualized approach to his patients. I had the pleasure of working across the hall from him for over 30 years. Dr. Bob McBride

Dr.Saylor was our family Dr, for many years, he saved my brother's life when he was small, and came to our home to take care of us.He was a very caring Dr. I still think of him when I'm over by his office.May he Rest in Peace

Dr Saylor was our family doctor! 1963 I would have died from a ruptured Appendix if he wouldn't have left a family party and came to our house at night checked me had my parents rush me to Woodruff Community Hospital where he met us there and removed my appendix! I seriously would have died! He made a house call!!! He was the best doctor ever! So sorry to hear he died! May he rest in peace!

John Saylor Was the voluntary photographer of my wedding in 1976. He created a lovely photo album of that day. He was dearly loved and admired by my step-mother, Jocelyn Peterson, who was his sister-in- law. I wish I could have known him better and never knew he wrote a book about legalizing drugs. He was an inspiration clear up through his nineties and I feel lucky to have known him.

I remember him as my Doctor in 1958, when I was four years old....RIP.
