It is with extreme sorrow that we announce the passing of Alvin Robb (Al) Taylor; loving and devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He died at the age of 92 at home with family on the afternoon of September 7, 2016 and is survived by the love of his life, Marty Taylor, with whom he recently celebrated 70 years of marriage.

    He will be lovingly remembered by his children: daughter, Lynne Taylor Fahnestalk with husband Steve Fahnestalk; son, Chris Taylor; and son, Blake TaylorMixon with wife Jennifer TaylorMixon; and grandchildren David Taylor, Corey Ann Taylor, Adria Bertsch, and Ian TaylorMixon.

    Al will be remembered for his kindness, his easy going manner, his big heart, and his sense of humor. He was a decorated WWII veteran, flying 65 missions in a B26 bomber. He worked for Shelter Insurance (formerly MFA Insurance) for 40 years. He and Marty were both charter members of Broadway Christian Church and they delivered Meals on Wheels together for over 18 years. Al loved, among many other things, bowling, the St. Louis Cardinals, mowing the grass, and hot dogs.

    A celebration of his life will be held at Broadway Christian Church at 4pm, Sunday, September 11, 2016. All are welcome. Those wishing to send condolences are asked to mail to The Terrace, 1408 Business Loop 70 West, Apt. # 318W, Columbia, MO, 65202.
