I would like to extend my sympathy to Doug's partner and his family.  I met Doug at Metropolitan United Church a few years ago where I serve on one of the ushering teams.  Doug was an engaging personality who had the ability to leave one feeling rewarded to have shared some time with him.  May he rest in peace.

Doug Taylor was one of my most beloved teachers. What a year in Grade Six with him! Such a rich class. He had SO many things to keep us interested! We had a terrarium. We had an aquarium (my favourite). He introduced us to classical music: The 1812 Overture, Gilbert and Sullivan. What a fantastic teacher he was, so personable, and a great sense of humour.  "Hasten Jason, fetch the basin!" What a great legacy he has left behind to this student and I know many others. Rest in Peace dear Doug Taylor!

I became acquainted with Doug Taylor through Metropolitan United Church. We were both interested in the history of Toronto and I enjoyed reading one of his novels as well as indulging in the lovely photo books he created around memories of various buildings in Toronto. He was a true gentleman in every sense of the word and although we were not close, I feel diminished by his absence on earth. (See John Donne's "No Man is an Island")

My sincere condolences on Doug's passing to his partner Ivan and Doug's family. I met Doug at Metropolitan United Church. We shared a love of music and art, among other interests. I spoke with Doug daily after he was transferred to Bridgepoint. He was a lovely man, a wonderful conversationalist. I will miss him and our conversations. May your memories bring comfort.
