Dear Bob,
Wally's legacy of a life well-lived is evidenced in his wonderful family. His words that were shared in the program for the memorial service speak to how he treated his fellow man with dignity and respect. So moving.

My name is Cory Bernthon I am a volunteer at Wesley health care center for five and half years. I used to volunteer for 2 Victoria for a month doing visitation then the volunteer director at the time Pat Quinn, I said Pat I don't mind doing 2 Victoria visitation but is there a person I can visit with as a weekly basis, and she said I think I have just person for you. That's when I was introduced to Walter. I can't tell you how humbled I was when being around Walter he made so happy when I would go and visit with him, he was a genuine person h was true gentleman and great friend we talk about politics and fishing and we would always joke around about the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox, and of course the Patriots my most sincere condolences to Walter's family and friends and anybody who had a good talk or a good joke. Like I said in Walter's card to his family heaven is a good place, because it has people like Walter there as before my most sincere condolences for the family and friends of Walter Taylor.
Sincerely Cory Bernthon

Dear Sue, Bobby, and Joann,
Growing up as your neighbor and a member of the churchwhich we walked to, even on my wedding dayI have nothing but wonderful memories of your father and mother. Joyce and Tom called him Wally but he was Rev. Taylor to me.
I loved all the events of his ministry: the annual bazaar, MYF, church suppers, and the Christmas Eve service. I have remained a devoted Methodist because of his example.
I remember waiting for the school bus in your front room; your dog Lady (I think); sleepovers, and so many events in the church being focal points of our childhoods. When Rev. Taylor married us we also had the Saint Matthew's priest in a true ecumenical service. It was wonderful.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time. I hope you can find comfort in the knowledge that your parents willingly served so many people well over the years. They were loved and respected by their church family and the larger community. They made a difference in a profound way and will live in the memories of so many.

To the Taylor family...I am so sorry for your loss
Mr Taylor was a kind and patient man. He had to be to accept all of us "girls" into his home for sleepovers in sleeping bags in the dining room and cooking extravaganzas many days after school. Accepting me to participate in many Methodist Church activities. Rest in peace Mr Taylor.. you were a wonderful man.

Sue, Bob and Jo Ann,
Please accept my condolences regarding the passing of your dad. Many things and people change over the years, but he was always a thoughtful and caring person. He was always gracious and welcoming to everyone. He certainly is "old Voorheesville" and he will be missed.

Dear Susan, Bob, Joann and family,
My condolences on your father's passing. He was a very good man, actually living the Word that he guided the Voorheesville community with for so many years, not just preaching it. You are in all our thoughts and prayers.

I rather doubt that Reverend Taylor was aware of the impact he had on this young man (at the time) when he came to our home in Voorheesville in '62 to console my parents on the tragic loss of my brother. I shall never forget his loving compassion, his warm sincerity, and his faithful prayers for healing. I have obviously lost touch with Reverend Taylor, but review of his obituary makes it clear that my encounter was hardly unique - I'm quite sure everyone he touched has a similar awed regard. Taylor lived an entire life in service to others and truly epitomized the spiritual values I struggle to achieve as I "trudge the road to happy destiny." Thank you for the role model, Reverend. May you forever Rest In Peace.

Susan, We often teased you about having to grow up as the minister's daughter. What a wonderful man and minister he was! I'm so sorry for your loss.

So very sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I will always have fond memories of him as Minister to the Voorheesville Methodist church, growing up and as an adult. You are in my thoughts and Prayers.

Walt was dedicated Pastor, servant of the poor and social conscience of our Conference for many years. His Ministry in Voorheesville restored a dying church, reinvigorating its ministry; and his years as director of the Albany U.M. Society strengthened a vital ministry to the poor and downtrodden, which helped folk in the Arbor Hill Community of Albany for many years. We will miss his witness to Christ among us. The Boston Red Socks have lost a proud "cheerleader" and the Democratic Party a fearless advocate.

Dear Bob, Susan and Joann, so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I always enjoyed his cheerful attitude whenever he spoke, and whenever he caught Bob and I being mischievous, which was often. He was always there for my Mom and Dad and they thought the world of him. A great father, man, friend and pastor is gone, but his efforts live on in every life he touched. I really mean it when I say, he was one of a kind. Rest in Peace Wally

Susan, Bob, Jo Ann and families, our sincere condolences. Your father was such a meaningful part of our lives, marrying us in 1969, baptizing both of our children, and performing the marriage of our daughter, Karen.

Dear Joann and Sarah:
I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your father & grandfather. My dad let me know. I fondly remember times spent up at Cape Cod with him and Lucille as some of the best of my childhood. Your father & grandfather really had an incredible life and impact, and it's so sweet and cute to hear the story about how he and Lucille met. Sending my condolences and love to you and family -- what an inspiring life. Love, Sarah Hogan

To the family, I'm deeply saddened of the loss of Mr. Taylor. He married us back in 1970. The nicest man anyone would want to meet. Please know that our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone at this sad time. Rest in Peace!!!
