So sorry to hear of Don’s passing. I enjoyed my farm visits with him and Joann. The books were always up to date, the information accurate, and the visit always seemed to end with good conversations. I could tell from the beginning of our relationship that frugality was one of Don’s many traits and one time he had said “I am not worried about cash flow – but cash stop – right in my pocket.” I always remembered that saying and throughout my years with them relating to their farming and my assistance in doing their income taxes for many years I passed that quote on to many of my clients and others I dealt with. Condolences to Joann and the rest of the Taylor family! Marlene McCombs (and husband Lee McCombs)
Joann, you have our deepest sympathy. We were so blessed to have Donnie for a neighbor for all the years. We will miss him. I know John feels terrible. We would have been there if it wasn’t for Covid and our health.
I cherish the memories of visiting the Taylors when we were kids and the special family bond that existed in your home. May Don’s soul rest in peace with our Lord and may the wonderful memories ease the pain of his passing.
