My sincere condolences on Bob’s passing. I was the city hall reporter at the Brantford Expositor during his mayoralty. He was a first class guy and the perfect fit for the mayor’s chair – smart and calm with a generous dose of common sense. We had many laughs together but none was greater than the time I did a story on Brantford’s rug hooking community. I still remember the lead on my front-page story: “Mayor Bob Taylor says his wife is the best hooker in Brantford. Rug hooker, that is.” Bob encouraged me to write that, never realizing the paper would be flooded with all kinds of complaints. For years and years afterward, he and Thora laughed about that one. Long after I left Brantford for British Columbia, Bob and Thora came to Victoria and stayed with me and my wife Diana. We had a wonderful few days together. I am sorry that Bob has passed but I have many great memories of a fine, dignified man who enriched his community and all those he touched. Again, my sincere condolences.
