John was a good man and friend. I worked with him and his family for many years. He was a great plumber and he loved to have a good time .He will be missed by a lot of people
Rest in Peace
John loved all of his “family”. He never met a stranger. He loved to eat and talk and could ALWAYS make us laugh. Mike and I will miss him so much. We will remember all the good times and keep his memories in our hearts forever. So privileged that we were there with him when he pulled his last “all nighter.” Rest easy John…..we will see you on the other side.
May you rest in peace. Your son, John Winfield Taylor, Jr., deeply misses you already and is completely heartbroken.
