I remember Pastor Taylor well as he was our preacher at First Missionary Church in North Pekin, IL. He and his wife Elaine were devoted to the ministry at First Missionary Church. If I remember correctly they were good friends of my late parents, Gene and Connie Wamsley. I can remember that Dad and Mom spoke very foundly of both Bob and Elaine ! My deepest sympathies go out to Elaine and all the family. God definitely gained a wonderful man !
