Not sure what to say?

Win Taylor Sr. was never without an extremely "witty comment" My life simply will not be the same without him.....ever. His son and grandchildren will be his legacy. His enthusiasm for sports both participating and as a fan were unparalelled. I will always remember his laugh and making him laugh was perhaps one of my greatest joys; but when both of us laughed uncontrollably... well it doesn't get any better than that. To Winslow Jr, Sally and family you were lucky to have and enjoy so many...

Dear Sally,
So sorry to hear of Winslow's passing -- what a gentleman! So soft spoken and yet direct -- you got what he meant. Truly a man of grrace and dignity. He will be missed!

Even when I was just nobody Winslow treated me like a professional. I will never forget your kindness.

Sally & Taylor family,

So sorry to hear of Win's passing. He was a delightful, kind & charming friend. When I showed up in AA 21 years ago, he was one of only a couple people I could stand to be around - his spirit was wonderful. We've been only infrequently in contact over the last dozen years as Caryl & I moved around California, but I always looked forward to the chance to visit when I got back to the South Bay. Our dinner with Sally & Win a year or so ago is a special memory...

Dear Sally, We are so grateful that we were able to spend time with both of you last year. Everytime I hear a special sound of laughter I will remember Win! And because I know that's what he would want. Sending our love and thoughts to you and your family, Rick and Caryl Evans, Visalia, CA

To the Taylor family,

I was so saddened when Sally called us the other day to let us know of Win's passing. 21 years ago when I came into AA, Win was one of only about 2 or 3 people I could stand to be around. His gentle, loving spirit and quiet warmth made his presence a safe haven for me. Although we only sporadically & infrequently got to visit over the last few years, Win has always had a special place in my heart. I am so grateful that Caryl & I got to have dinner with Sally...
