I was up in the Kalkaska area and hoping to catch up with Uncle Ralph and Aunt Janet.  I lived next door to them on Vineyard Lake for many years.  My children always called them Uncle Ralph and Aunt Janet also.  I spent many afternoons raking leaves and cleaning up our lake lots with them.  When they sold their cottage and moved up north to be by Kevin, they purposely sold it to a couple who had boys the same age as mine.  Years later they are still best friends and went to MSU together.  Thank you for being good neighbors, good friends, and good people!  Please give Aunt Janet all my love.

I have many fond memories of all the Taylors.  I enjoyed Ralph's gentle nature and remember fondly their home in Green Hills.  My deepest sympathies to Janet, Greg, Kevin, Pam, and their families.

Uncle Ralph was one of the kindness, gentlest people I remember from my childhood.
The warmth that radiated from his eyes felt to be the same that emanated from his heart.
Many childhood memories experienced within the Taylor home in Mich. included GGrandma Taylor sitting in her chair along with Telma Lou, cheering on her favorite baseball teams.
 So many adventures and holiday times with all of the Taylor clan have left precious,indelible marks upon my life, my heart.

Thank you Uncle Ralph for all that you brought to this world.
May your journey homeward be filled with all the grace you offered to everyone while you were here.
My prayers are with Aunt Janet, Greg, Kevin,Pam and their families. 

Waterblessings and love,

Alysia

So sorry to read of Ralph's passing.  I remember you all and how supportive you were of the Choral Music program at Bedford when I started it.  Greg was such a fine pianist, hope he is continuing.  Pam for her beautiful voice in the Soiree Singers.  My parents lived for year in Braden Castle in Bradenton.  May God Hold You In the Palm of His Hands.....

Fondly,
C David and Karen Parker

Sorry to hear about Ralph's passing. Have many memories of Ralph and family at our house in Toledo, at the Hartman gatherings and the house in Temperance. Remembered all the good our family had with the Taylor.  Ralph and my dad enjoyed a life well lived.

I have many fond memories of Uncle Ralph during my childhood.  Holiday dinners, parties, and visits at the cottage provided a climate of meaningful relationship.  Appreciate the input into my life.  May God comfort all of the Taylor family and draw you to Himself.

Our Thoughts and Prayers go to Janet and family. Ralph lived a full life. He was blessed by the Lord.
