Richard J. "Rick" Taylor Jr.

I saw Rick the day before he passed away, waiting for the elevator in our office in Jacksonville. We had been working on a project together and we both grumbled a bit about our latest trials and then ....he smiled and laughed at our grumblings. I will remember him exactly that way. Smiling back at me.

He was so knowledgeable and I always relied on his expertise. But more than that his skill with claims and testing and analysis, I relied on his kindness and his friendship. I will...

Rick was our next door neighbour since he moved here in 2004. He was a very quiet and shy man, we would say hello on the driveway once in a while, and occasionally he would stop to chat.
We were very saddened to hear he had passed, may he be at peace now, without pain.

Dear Taylor famility, my deepest sympathies to your familiy. Rick was an honorable and knowledgeable coworker who was easy to work with. We could always count on him to be in early in the morning and ready to help. His presence will be missed.

Rick will be very dearly missed. I have learnt a lot from working with him in Kemper. You will be always remembered as a very kind person always willing to help.

Rick and I worked on the same team for many years. He was the "go to" guy for any policy questions. He was also a trooper for going out to lunch with the "gang". He was a wonderful person. God Bless his family.

Dear Marie, my prayers for comfort and peace are with you and yours, at this time and always. Debbie Z
