Our family wanted to express their condolences in this your time of sorrow. We found this verse encouraging during our time of loss. “Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God.” 2 Corinthians 1:3,4.
At John 5:28,29 Jesus spoke about the hope of the resurrection. You are in our thoughts as well.

Buster Taylor dug out both ponds at St. Walburg/Villa Madonna in 1998. We enjoyed working with him very much. He insisted that there was only one way to do the job, and that was to do it right! Our extensive photo album shows that he did it right. Buster was one of those characters one remembers with affection.

I sure am sorry to hear about Buster. He was a great man. I was just thinking about him a few days ago. I always enjoyed when I stopped by the shop and he was there, to talk to. He was one of the hardest working men I know. I can remember watching him tear down our hold house, working from early morning to late day. You will be greatly missed Buster. God Bless you, and the family!

Buster was one of the most hard working men I have ever known. He always had a smile on his face and time for a hug. He was an example to all of us that hard work and dedication truly pay off in so many ways, and instilled those values in all of his children. He will be missed by many.

I am so sorry for your loss. Uncle Buster was a great man. I am so proud to be part of the Taylor family. I had so much fun in Covington when we would leave Colorado and pick Granny on the way to Florida. I loved when the Taylor brothers got together and started drinking beer and telling stories. Uncle Buster was a leader not a follower. He probably wouldn’t have lived 89 years if someone told he needed to retire. I’m praying for everyone but especially Aunt Helen. God Bless everyone.

Marcia Jones(Norman) - Nov 1, 2016

There will be a hole in many hearts for a long time but look to the heavens for the brightest star. THERE you will find Buster.. (I bet Judy Ann was there to welcome him with the biggest Smile.)….RIP

My condolences to the entire family. He was one of those men that made the world a better place to live. One of the last of a bread of men that lived by a creed. A John Wayne type of a guy, I never met anyone that worked harder than Buster. I remember one day I seen him working on Tuyrkeyfoot Road. We made eye contact, I didn’t dare not stop to see him. His first words from his mouth was ” they got working part time only 50 to 60 hours a week, I don’t hardly let me do anything anymore. A big smile covered my face to keep from laughing. I knew from the deepest part of Buster he was serious that 50-60 hours a week for Bus was to him part time. The world would be a better place with more Busters
