We will miss Chris Taylor.

His abundance of energy that gave optimism no matter what the situation was.

His twinkling in his eyes that brought smiles.

His overt and out front remarks that gave warmth and laughter.

His passion for the steel town and the coal state he came from that.

His avid support and advocacy for Aegis Missile Defense that came from his love and years with the U.S. Navy.

His soul was good, his heart was better, his kindness was the best.

Thank you for the years of service and advocacy doing what you loved.

God Bless you, your family and all the people you have touched.
