TAYLOR, William James

December 20, 1943 April 19, 2020 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of William "Bill" Taylor on April 19, 2020 after a long battle with prostate cancer fought with extreme grace and courage. Bill is lovingly survived by his wife, Marie Losier, his brother, Michael Taylor and wife Karen Coshof (Knowlton, QC); and his niece, Lisa Taylor (London, UK). He was predeceased by his parents, Wm. Alistair and Jean Taylor (London, ON) and sister, Marcia Taylor (Santa Fe, NM). Bill was born in Montreal, lived his early years in the Town of Mount Royal, and graduated from Sir George Williams University, Montreal, with a Bachelor of Commerce Degree. His career began with Westinghouse and was mostly spent in the electrical industry. In 1990 he started his company, Technalines Manufacturers Agency, which supplied products to the electrical industry successfully for 20 years. Bill had an inventive, creative mind and was known for his unique "Macgyver-like" approach to problem solving. Prior to his health deterioration Bill did a variety of volunteer work, enjoyed his hobby of photography, and with his wife, Marie, travelled extensively. Bill had a friendly, outgoing personality, and a wonderful sense of humour that brought smiles to the faces of those around him. His creativity, warmth, and humour will be dearly missed by his family and friends. Consideration will be given later for a celebration of life. Memorial donations can be made to the Alberta Cancer Society. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family via the website www.hainstockedmonton.com
