Reverend Dr. Walter Edmund Taylor

Dear Bob,

Wally's legacy of a life well-lived is evidenced in his wonderful family. His words that were shared in the program for the memorial service speak to how he treated his fellow man with dignity and respect. So moving.

My name is Cory Bernthon I am a volunteer at Wesley health care center for five and half years. I used to volunteer for 2 Victoria for a month doing visitation then the volunteer director at the time Pat Quinn, I said Pat I don't mind doing 2 Victoria visitation but is there a person I can visit with as a weekly basis, and she said I think I have just person for you. That's when I was introduced to Walter. I can't tell you how humbled I was when being around Walter he made so happy when I...

Dear Sue, Bobby, and Joann,

Growing up as your neighbor and a member of the churchwhich we walked to, even on my wedding dayI have nothing but wonderful memories of your father and mother. Joyce and Tom called him Wally but he was Rev. Taylor to me.
I loved all the events of his ministry: the annual bazaar, MYF, church suppers, and the Christmas Eve service. I have remained a devoted Methodist because of his example.
I remember waiting for the school bus in your front...

To the Taylor family...I am so sorry for your loss
Mr Taylor was a kind and patient man. He had to be to accept all of us "girls" into his home for sleepovers in sleeping bags in the dining room and cooking extravaganzas many days after school. Accepting me to participate in many Methodist Church activities. Rest in peace Mr Taylor.. you were a wonderful man.

Sue, Bob and Jo Ann,
Please accept my condolences regarding the passing of your dad. Many things and people change over the years, but he was always a thoughtful and caring person. He was always gracious and welcoming to everyone. He certainly is "old Voorheesville" and he will be missed.

Rev. Taylor was my pastor growing up in Voorheesville. I remember him fondly. My thoughts & prayers to the family.

Dear Susan, Bob, Joann and family,
My condolences on your father's passing. He was a very good man, actually living the Word that he guided the Voorheesville community with for so many years, not just preaching it. You are in all our thoughts and prayers.

I rather doubt that Reverend Taylor was aware of the impact he had on this young man (at the time) when he came to our home in Voorheesville in '62 to console my parents on the tragic loss of my brother. I shall never forget his loving compassion, his warm sincerity, and his faithful prayers for healing. I have obviously lost touch with Reverend Taylor, but review of his obituary makes it clear that my encounter was hardly unique - I'm quite sure everyone he touched has a similar awed regard....

Susan, We often teased you about having to grow up as the minister's daughter. What a wonderful man and minister he was! I'm so sorry for your loss.
