I was fortunate to have Al Taylor as a teacher. It was fun to have a Tennent alum come back to teach so quickly after graduating from college. What a great guy and an excellent teacher. When we had a combined class of 69-70 reunion, Al came by to chat with his former students and it was a blast to see him.
Al rest now.... you lived a good life.... you will be missed.

Mr. Taylor was my English teacher in 1989/1990 and graduated with my Dad from Tennent in 1961. I will always remember how much it made him laugh when I would wear my dad`s letterman jacket on spirit days. He was a good teacher and a kind man.

He was one of my all-time favorite HS teachers. He had a big challenge making English a favorite class of mine but he pulled it off. I have many great memories of his class

Haven't seen Al in a few years but he was always congenial though losing it on the soccer field on occasion. LOL! Please accept my condolences.
