William Robinson Taylor ’28

Body

Bill died on Oct. 3, 1999, in Lyme, Conn., his home since 1950. After graduation Bill worked on Wall Street, a partner of W.E. Burnett and Company. He later became an independent investment counsel and remained so until his death. He wore with pride his letter "P" in swimming. Genealogy was a special hobby, and some of his work on the subject has been published. Bill is survived by his wife of 68 years, Marion, and three daughters, Mary Gay Taylor, Elizabeth Wall, and Margaret Boyle. He also leaves three grandsons and his brother, Arnold '33. The class sends deepest sympathy and love to all the family.
