My thoughts and prayers are with Let and all the family. I am very grateful to have seen Bob on his visit to Newfoundland last summer. Rest peacefully Bob.
My Deepest condolences to Loretta and the entire Taylor Clan.
Mr. Taylor,
You were a great friend and coworker. You taught me so much. You somehow knew how to do everything, squeeze 100ft on a 53ft trailer, fix whatever needed to be fixed, set up all our furniture, paint every office and volunteered for every event. You had the strength of those half your age and you always gave a helping hand to anyone in need. Even when things didn’t quite work out the way you wanted, I always got a kick out of hearing you loose it on whatever object that wasn’t cooperating, although I could only pick up half of what you were saying. Most of all, you showed me how to have fun, to not take it all too seriously and to enjoy life. The world was indeed a brighter place with you in it.
Rest in Peace Bobby.
Rest in peace Taylor, you were like a father to me. You are fondly remembered and greatly missed. In my heart for ever.
I had the pleasure of working with Bob for many years. He was an incredibly hard worker and took pride in his work, more importantly Bob was a fantastic person . He always had a smile and could find humour in every situation. Bob made coming to work a little better and for that I will always be grateful to Bob . Rest in peace my friend you definitely earned it .
Bobby was one of the greatest men we have ever had the honour to know! His laughter lit up room . Bob had a way of lifting people up he gave so much to everyone he met we wish you could have stayed with us forever because the world better with you in it.
I will miss our tea time and visits.
Thank you for being a big part of the kids lives and always being there.
Love you always and forever,
Heather Klodner-Taylor
