To the Taylor Family:My deepest sympathy for the loss of a great and kind man. I was honored to have known Richard when I was part of the Taylor family years ago. Richard always had a smile on his face and a hot coffee spoon in his hand so he could touch me on my arm with it, then laugh like crazy when I would jump. Richard and Phyllis were a great couple and some of the kindest people I have ever met. God Bless you and the kids Phyllis. Richard will always be there watching over all of you!! May he Rest in Peace....
