Wayne and Suzanne, sorry to hear of your loss, Jim was a character and always nice to converse with, he will be sadly missed.

Our sincere sympathy to Shirley and family. It was always lovely to bump into Shirley and Jim since we moved away from being their neighbours across the road on Okuku Rd in the early 80s when we first got married. Jim was a lovely friendly man and always interested in our families.

In loving memory of our Brother, Worshipful Brother Jim Taylor Past Master. Jim was a valued member of Te Awahou Masonic Lodge No.133 joining our Lodge in 1993 from the Mangahao Lodge No.236 when that Lodge closed. He remained a member until 2021 when he retired to Palmerston North. Jim was always ready to accept any task within the Lodge and regularly stepped in to assist in the well running of the Lodge. He will be missed. The Master, officers and brethren of Te Awahou Lodge send heartfelt condolences to his family.

We will miss your company over your time at Riverstone Village and Probus

I´ve arrived from Australia to be told this sad news. I shall be at the funeral for sure. Jim was a great friend and boss and our hearts go out to Shirley,Wayne and Suzanne and your Grandies. Loads of love and prayers for you all at this time. He´s with the Lord and it´s our loss and Jim´s gain. We rejoice but it is with heavy hearts that we will miss him.

Love always, Lynda Jeffery ( Richards) and family.

Thoughts with Mrs Taylor, Suzanne & Wayne.
Always remember Mr Taylor going past our place on Okuku Road while he was on his way to or from his farm runoff on his motorbike and you used to get this humongous wave and smile. RIP
