My trusted friend and revered mentor, who will be sadly missed. Irreplacable in my personal and scientific life. Remembered always with deep affection.

A great scientist whose influence was huge - but who was also a kind and caring human being. A good friend to so many. He will be very greatly missed.

A good man and I do not say that lightly. He never talked down to others, although he had every right to. I will miss that laugh.

My sincere condolences to the family of Dr. Tom Taylor. He was such a dynamic personality. He was such a help to ND EPSCoR as a reviewer of programs and proposal review team. We will miss him very much as a friend of many years and his expert guidance.
