KENNETH TAYLOR

YOU WERE A VERY COURAGIOUS MAN, THANK YOU FOR BEING A TRUE FRIEND, THE MEN AND WOMEN YOU HELPED HIDE OWE YOU A DEBT OF GRATITUDE,

I remember like it was yesterday, when he was instrumental in securing the safety of the six American diplomats in Tehran. I had just joined the Canadian Consulate in Buffalo, N.Y. a few years earlier and the Americans showered us with thank you's, accolades and so much gratitude, it was heartwarming. It was a great moment in Canadian - US history and an enduring model of international cooperation between governments.

My sincere condolences to his family and may he rest in peace.

Brother Taylor you will be dearly missed. My prayers go out to you and your family. From a fellow brother at Beta Omega, IHSV.

Ken Taylor brought great honour to our country by his courage in helping the stranded Americans in Iran. We in Canada have not forgotten his valour and we offer love and prayers to his family.

Pat and Douglas, My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I never got to meet Ken, but heard a lot about him through my late husband Jim Edward, Security, during the crisis in Tehran.

Ken Taylor was a consummate gentlemen and a Canadian Treasurer. Sympathies from David Graham and family in Nova Scotia.

I was lucky to have the honor of knowing Ambassador Taylor and his lovely wife Pat during their years in NYC, following his heroic actions in Iran. He was a true renaissance man in every sense of the word with a love of politics, the arts, and a true humanitarian.
Thank you for your service during those precarious days and months in Tehran.
My deepest sympathy to Douglas and Pat. RIP

Sorry for your loss. Grief can be hard but the love from family and friends can help you cope.
