Bobby Taylor - What can I say? For once I'm at a loss for words. The 2nd half of the "Taylor Twins" decided to take his flight. Well, as the saying goes "only the good die young" amd you were the best! I'll never forget how much you and Sandra helped me after Mark died. I'm so glad I got to spend some time with you and Sandra in September. I'll always remember how good you were too me and all the good times we had. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Tell Mark I said hello and until we meet again save all your energy because once Sandra and I arrive...
I love and miss you

What can I say? Thanks for always getting up a 4am and getting me to hockey. For also stepping up and volunteering coaching my Little League and Hockey teams. I'll always remember weekend afternoons watching war movies and sporting events with you. I will miss your genuine laugh that would fill up a house. Thanks for always sticking by us (and working your butt off to provide for us) through all the tough times. Thanks for being a loving Grampy to Devan, Nathan and Katie. I love you. Your loving Son, Bryan.

My darling Bob, I and your children miss you so much. I have loved you for fifty one years and was so lucky to have you as my husband. You worked so hard and under sometimes harsh conditions to unselfishly provide for us. You gave us a good life. Thank you my sweet teddy bear. I will love you always.
