I had the pleasure of working with you as Captain, and the Chief of police in the early 80's. Then you made me a Deputy Sheriff to work with you again. Now we became friends and worked together. You were tough, but fair, and loved his family. RIP Chief.

It was wonderful to spend the last year of Bob's life getting to know him better at the Life Care Center. Every Wednesday he would wait for me to come in so he could get his Ice Cream cone and cookies. He loved talking about his life as a policeman to someone from Seekonk. It was my pleasure to be part of the last year of his life. You will be missed my friend.

Paul, I remember your dad so well. He was our crossing guard for North school. He always had a kind smile and usually a joke. My condolences to all the Taylor family.

I am so sorry for your loss. He was a great man. We had a fun time as kids when our families would get together and go camping to Maine and Vermont. I will be thinking of you all!

I have very fond memories of Bob (and Marge)as well as most of the Taylor family. One of my favorite is camping with Bob and his family in Vermont and Papoose Pond, Maine. We had great times as many Seekonk families would go at the same time together. The fun times with all the teens as well as remembering our parents around the campfire being silly will always be cherished. My sympathy to the Taylor family. Bob will be remembered by me as a kind and gentle sole.

I have such fun memories of Bob (and Marge)as well as the entire Taylor family. It seems like such a long time ago camping in Vermont and at Papoose Pond in Maine. We had half the campground filled with Seekonk families! I will never forget the great times with all the teens as well as our parents behaving silly around the campfires. LOL. Bob will be remembered by me as a kind and gentle sole. My sympathy to Bob's family.
