I feel privileged to have known you. You always smiled at me whenever we saw each other, always told me to have a good weekend. It broke my heart to find out that you have passed, but I know you are in heaven, where an angel like you belongs. You were one of those really special people that always tried to help everybody. I will miss you very much. <3

I only knew Mr. Taylor through the Upper Deerfield School family but he was one of the kindest, funny and warm people I have known. I always called him whenever I needed help and no matter what school he was at he would come. I am so sorry for your loss. He was a great man

Words can not express the sadness I felt when I heard the news of Mr. Taylor's passing. I feel blessed to have known such a wonderful and happy man. You could always count on him to have a smile and kind words. He made so many of my days brighter! Upper Deerfield Schools will NEVER be the same. "Mr. Smiley", you will be deeply missed.

Uncle my heart is heavy but God knows best. I will always remember and reminisce about all the good times I had at Grandmom Taylor house and growing up with you in the country. We had such goood times. I will miss you terribly.
