    Passing of a wonderful old Friend and Brother from another Mother.

    A great Friend has passed to day. Johny Taylor of West Valley City Utah passed this morning around 4:00 am.

    He was a Father, Husband, and old Sailor and a great boxer in his youth. But what I love about him the most is even though he has suffered bad brain injury"s as a result of boxing he never said an unkind word, argued with you, stopped smiling, stopped joking around, never put any one down, He loves his Wife and Children and Grand Children.

    He was hit by a car crossing the road and badly injured hid right leg and foot. He walked with a bent down foot the rest of his life. The driver was in the wrong he could have taken every thing the person had that hit him in the crosswalk. He did not. He said oh well and suffered for years afterwards he loved to walk, he would walk 3 miles ad a day when he could. he slowed down and would get confused and just sit down and wait to be picked up. sitting on a bus stop bench some where on his route. He went to Wendy's and got a burger every day. He walked from his home. When he went in Wendy's they knew him by name and he ate at the same table and they started his order as soon as he walked in, he had the same thing for years.

    To a Great Friend and My Brother I say thank you for the Memories and the Love you have for your fellow Man God Bless you and may the Angels walk this new journey with you. Till we meet again.

    Paul, it says something about you as well to have had a friend like this. Most folks these days would just ignore him and pretend he didn't exist, and it would be their loss of course. One of the most surprising and instructive things I've ever learned in this life is that there's something we can learn and benefit from if we just pay attention. Even the lowliest and humblest have something to teach us if we're simply not so haughty as to ignore them. Some of the most poignant lessons I've ever learned have been from some of the most humble folks I've dealt with.



    Matthew 25:40

    And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
