For the last 15 or 20 yrs, Mr Taylor waxed my car twice a year and in all that time never raised the cost of his services. It was always $40. He was such a happy, cheerful guy, we used to talk about the Yankees while he was working on my car. Sorry this is late, I wasnt aware that Jim had passed the last time I was at the car wash a few months ago, asking for him. To say the least, I was shocked. What a wonderful human being. RIP my friend wash the Lord's cars in heaven!

I took my vehicle today to the car wash and I saw the picture of James I only went there because of him he went out of his way to make sure my vehicle was perfect he was a gentleman and we would talk while I waited I truly never met a human being like James I was at a loss for words when I found out he passed away I pray for his family and loved ones I thank him for his service we used to talk because my father was in the Marine Corps and when I say he truly was such a nice guy he truly was I will continue to pray for him his family and his loved ones but I know James is in heaven. He will be missed.

LOVE YOU DADDY. My heart is broken,my mind a mess. I feel lost and stuck...there's nothing I can do!!! He was a GREAT GUY!! HONESTLY. He lit up the room wherever he went!! He did whatever he can for sooo many!! He always wanted better for everyone who crossed his path. He worked so so hard for everything he ever had. He was ready to start a new journey in life he definitely deserved!! I guess God needed him home....I know he will be watching over us and keeping us self ...My angel
