James I. Taylor Sr.
March 13, 1930 — October 20, 2012
COLONIE – James I. Taylor Sr., 82, began his spiritual walk with God on Saturday, October 20, 2012 after a short illness. Born in Richford, VT, he was the son of the late Flora (Inglis) and James Taylor.
Jim and his loving wife Lorena Joan (Van Patten) Taylor, longtime residents of Colonie, were married for 61 years. He was a sheet metal worker for the Local 83 for his entire career. Jim joined the Midway Fire Department in 1955 as a volunteer firefighter and served on the ambulance squad. Jim was a proud member of the BPOE Guilderland Elks for 27 years, serving as a trustee and as an officer of the lodge as a Tiler for several years. He enjoyed spending time with his family and his RV friends from New York and Florida.
Along with his parents, Jim was predeceased by his two sisters, Ila (Taylor) Rowland and Una (Taylor) Hedgeman.
He is survived not only by his loving wife Lorena, but also his sister Iva Blackwell; daughter Joan (Harry) Cipriano; son James (Dee Vannie) Taylor, Jr.; grandchildren Christopher (Helen) and Ashley Cipriano, and Jeffrey (Kristen), James (Jennifer) and Tammy Taylor; great-grandchildren James, Jeffrey, Savanah and Ellie Taylor and Jack Cipriano, as well as several nieces and nephews.
He was a great son, husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend. To love him is to know him and to know him is to learn to love.
The family would like to thank the Community Hospice of Schenectady and the visiting angels for their great care and support. A special thank you also goes to Joyce, Angela, Darlene, Carol, Daisy and Dawn.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 9:00 am on Friday at St. Paul the Apostle Church, 2777 Albany Street, Schenectady. Calling hours will be held on Thursday from 4:00 to 8:00 pm at New Comer Cannon Funeral Home, 343 New Karner Road, Colonie. Entombment will be in Most Holy Redeemer Cemetery, Niskayuna. In place of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Community Hospice of Schenectady or the Elks National Foundation through the Guilderland Elks.
