Although we all knew it was inevitable, it is with a very heavy heart that I pass along the news that Dick Taylor has passed on. According to his daughter, Tina, he went in his sleep peacefully last evening (Thursday) at around 6:00 pm. I had the chance to talk with him briefly on Tuesday and he sounded tired, but it was always good to hear his voice. I know we will all miss him and we send our best to his family. Here is the email passed on from the family with information on services:
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our father, Dick Taylor. He died peacefully at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 10th (the same day that his father passed in 1974), surrounded by family. See the following links for his obituaries in the Las Vegas Review Journal and the LA Times. Feel free to add a comment in the Legacy Memory Book we are compiling in his honor (linked through each obituary).

We will be having a small graveside service in Palm Springs on Saturday, March 19th, and a celebration of his life on Sunday, March 27th in Mt. Charleston.
Thank you for being a part of our father's life. He enjoyed the associations he had with his many friends and family throughout the world. He truly tried to make the world a better place by helping people understand that we are all connected and that we should all just get along!
