We just learned of Taylor's passing. My son Nick and I were talking this evening on the phone and said we need to call him a have a conference call. Then found out he had passed. So sorry for waiting so long to reconnect. We were neighbors with them in Little Rock and our kids grew up together. I remember all the things everyone spoke about in their remembrances they had of him, and they are all true, he was all of that and much more. I will add the fun times we had playing cards and dominoes with him and Dee and the exchange student from Chile hitting tennis balls and playing football.

I only knew Taylor a short while, but his interest in and knowledge of local history was incredible. He was kind enough to show me some spectacular sites, an outing the memories of which will last the rest of my life. Rest in peace, my friend.

Taylor was one of my grandfather's best friends. He would come to our metal detector shop just about every week and swap stories with my grandfather. He was an intelligent and kind man. Rest in peace my friend.

We lived across the street from Taylor for five years, in the cul-de-sac on Riverview. He introduced my boys, and especially my youngest, to running jug lines on the Arkansas River. Oh the fish they caught and memories they made. Always loved when he fired his cannon, as well! We Thank God for neighbors such as Taylor.

I had purchased a few Indian artifacts from Taylor. Always loved chatting with him hearing his tales of collecting even at a young age. Always wished we were neighbors to go collecting together and talk around a fire. He will be missed

It was sad to read of Taylor's passing. I had the pleasure of working with Taylor during his time in Oklahoma and I can say that I learned a lot from him. Reading of his passing brought up a lot of found memories. He was very much respected!

May peace and comfort be with the family, and may Alfred rest in eternal peace. Alfred and my brother were classmates at Clarksville High School and were guardsmen together.

Taylor was a great friend and I am sad that he has passed on from this world because I know he thoroughly enjoyed his time here.
He was very well thought of by everyone at Shelter Insurance. He was the type guy that you always knew it when he was in the room. He always had an appropriate comment or an interesting story to tell.

Taylor will be greatly missed by so many that enjoyed his presence. Always informative and ready to share his vast knowledge and life experiences. Usually with a lesson and a bit of humor. Taylor will live on in our hearts and minds because he left us enlightened from his a broad knowledge of his life lessons. Prayers of comfort to all his family.
