Pete aka "txpete" Has Passed

Post by Blaine »

Last night. Di says he went peacefully sitting in his recliner. God Bless. Never met the man, and like so many here, and other boards, he became like a brother.

I was elsewhere and asked Blaine to post here. Most all of the old guys here know txpete. He's been a good friend to many here I'm sure as he was a good friend to me via this and other forums.

This is a photo of he and his grandson taken 10 June...

You can see his photo album here with pics of his service.

His obit...
Funeral services with full military honors for (Ret) SSG Peter R. Taylor, 56, of Killeen, will be 1:30 p.m. Monday, July 11, 2011 at Crawford-Bowers Funeral Home in Killeen.

Mr. Taylor passed away Friday, July 8, 2011 at his home.

Peter Ronald Taylor was born September 18, 1954 in Montreal, Canada to Herbert Ronald and Mary Lorna (McFarland) Taylor.

He retired from the US Army after more than 20 years of service. He recently worked for DynCorp from 1996 to 2005 and was a member of the DAV.

Peter was preceded in death by his parents.

He is survived by his wife, Dianna Taylor of Killeen; a daughter and her husband, Leigh and Ryan Bird of Sublette, Kansas; a sister and her husband, Heather and Dwight Medina of Roy, WA; and a grandson, Kyler Bird of Kansas, cousins Sharon Lynch of San Antonio, Gael Lynch and Patricia Leonard both of Canada.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the American Cancer Society, 2433 Ridgepoint Drive, Suite B, Austin, TX 78754, or www.cancer.org

Words of comfort may be shared at www.crawfordbowersfuneralhome.com

For those interested, he does have a memorial page at the funeral home site.

May the pipes play well for you Pete.
Sincerely,

Hobie

A very sad day indeed :cry: :cry: . He was a good guy, and was into the Finnish Mosin Nagants. We talked a lot about the Mosin Nagants and he was willing to listen and give advise, no question was a stupid question to Pete.

I will miss him and his friendliness and knowledge.

Pete Taylor obviously a fine fine individual. Look through the pictures in the obituary and look at the gaze of the grandson in the last and see if you don't see Pete.
