Hello to the family, my name is Laverne Avant and my husband is Gregory. We only did business with Aubrey when he was with Greenbrier Dodge. He became a trusted partner for our family and when we needed to get a new vehicle and other times when we just visited or referred someone to him, we just enjoyed him. We are so sorry for your loss. He was a strong, confident, trustworthy business person and we cherished his friendship. He will be missed. We just found out about his death yesterday. I (LaVerne) called his other job to let him know that I had published a book and I know he would have just loved that. Anyway, we are praying for you. God bless you and if you would like to communicate with us please email us at [email protected].

SADDENED BY THE NEWS OF AUBREY TAYLORS DEATH. I WORKED WITH AUBREY BACK IN THE LATE 90S WHEN I WAS A MANAGER AT GREENBRIER DODGE IN CHESAPEAKE VIRGINIA. HANDS DOWN THE BEST SALESMAN THAT I EVER WORKED WITH HIS CUSTOMERS LOVED HIM SO MUCH THEY CALLED HIM UNCLE AUBREY HE ALSO WAS JUST ONE OF THE NICEST AND MOST SINCERE PEOPLE YOU COULD EVER MEET A TRUE SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN. PROUD TO HAVE CALLED HIM MY FRIEND. YOU WILL BE MISSED MR. TAYLOR BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN. GOD BLESS AND COMFORT YOUR FAMILY

To the Taylor Family...Deepest sympathy for your loss. I met Aubrey as a salesman for Greenbrier Dodge and he sold me not one, not two, but three vehicles. When he left, my business left with him. He was a man with impeccable taste and character. A true gentleman. An honest gentleman. He was a true fighter and never gave up even when his health begun to fail. He would always talk about his girls and it showed just how much he adored each and every one. God bless you all...TBurtt, Norfolk, VA
