Doug Taylor, 1956 - 2014

Dear friends:
I am sorry to have to report that Doug Taylor passed away on January 13, with his family at his bedside. I visited him just hours before he left us. He was in very good spirits, was not at all afraid of death, and still had his sense of humour and hearty laugh. We discussed books we liked. His funeral was held at Lakeview United Church on January 17. Doug spent his adult life doing everything he could to improve the lives of those less fortunate, to expand the democratic movement, and to try to save the environment from human destruction. We will surely miss him.
