I know words can’t take away the hurt all of you are feeling, but I want you to know how much we care. Sending love and strength in this time of loss.

I responded to many house fires and disaster situations under the Command of Chief Taylor. I always found him to be competent, knowledgeable and exceedingly helpful. Jim was an asset to the community and made a positive impact on many.
A life dedicated to the service to the community is a life served well. My condolences to his family, friends and collegues.
May Chief Taylor, Resquiescat in Pace.

To Jim’s family, Lady Friend, Dunkirk VF&
To the Taylor family, That Special Lady& Dunkirk VF&RD. God only takes the best first as my Mother always said. Jim was certainly one of them. Another Angel was needed for special things that God always needs. May all remember what a kind, caring, father, grandfather, uncle and friend you had & will always be a part of your memories. Jim was so dedicated to his work. A lot of lives where touched by this man. I have know Jim for many years and always made sure he came to me &gave me a hug, kind words and that smile was the best. So when that siren blows and dispatch sends out Co. 5 Engines you will have an Angel riding with you. Rest in peace my
friend. God be with you all.
