I was so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. He was my English teacher in grade 10, and much later, a colleague when I began teaching at the high school. When I think of Bob, the first thing that comes to mind is his gigantic smile and the way he used to laugh (almost nervously) at his own jokes! He was one of the most sincere and caring people I’ve met. My deepest condolences to your family.

My condolences to the family. He was one of the best teachers I ever had.
Lori McFadyen
He was a wonderful teacher. There are those who teach, but Mr. Taylor had a way of bringing everything to life and asking his students to dig deep for understanding. I have never forgotten those lessons, now forty years later. My condolences to his family. A true angel and one who positively influenced many lives has left this earthly place to join another sphere.
