To the family and friends,
I am so sorry to read of your loss. I got to briefly know Ron Taylor while he was at Barberton ManorCare. He was a soft spoken and very interesting gentleman. He worked very hard in therapy to get well. He talked of his family and about his years of teaching. He loved both very much. I only work there part time, so the last time I saw Ron he was feeling well and in good spirits, so it was a shock to read of his passing. I'm glad that his family was able to be with him before he passed on.
God Bless and wishing you good healing.

I always saw you as my intelligent and kind older cousin who always spoiled me when I was growing up. Then, challenged, encouraged, and disciplined me as my fourth grade teacher. I always looked up to you. Perhaps I owe my numerous tooth fillings to the bags of candy you brought me regularly as a child, but your love is better described by the faith you had in me and all your students. You are forever a part of me. I thank you and I thank God for He has shined on you.
Love, your cousin and student,
