Michael S. Taylor

To the Taylor family, my deepest sympathies. Mike was a great friend and it was through him that I met all of you, and came to appreciate what a terrific family you are. Mike's impact on those he lived with, worked with, played with, and enjoyed life with will never be forgotten. He was my friend, umpire partner, confidant, helper, and at times a delightful thorn in my side. Some of the best times I've had on the baseball field were alongside Mike, either working his games or working...

To the Taylor Family,

I was so sorry to learn of Mike's passing. He was a very competitive young man and a great baseball player.

My prayers are with you.

My deepest sympathy to the family and loved ones of Michael. I have known him for many years as we both shared a love of baseball and umpiring. All of the wonderful things that were said of Michael in his obituary are true and our world will be a little bit colder and darker without his infectious smile. He was a GREAT baseball umpire and an even better person! I am proud to have been one of his friends and I will miss him greatly.

You will be missed, Mike. Your attention to detail, your willingness to assist in problem solving...your skill with a forklift. You were a joy to work with...I appreciated your observations, and always got a laugh from the stories. May God grant you safe travels, and I'll see you on the other side. The pain is over...enjoy the Heavens. The job will not be the same without you. "Taylor's End" of the building will always be "Taylor's End" to me..

Larry, and the entire Taylor family-
I would like to offer my condolences to all of you during this trying time. I was a co-worker of Larry's at Cannon-Muskegon, as well as a hockey player in the Muskegon senior leagues. I met Mike while playing on Tuesday nights, and he introduced himself to me. My older brother, Mike, was a standout ball player for Mona Shores while Larry and Mike were playing for the Big Reds. But during the summers they played as teammates with the...

Taylor family......so very sorry to hear of Michael's passing. May God bring you peace and comfort.
