Graham Lee Taylor
- 17.04.1931 - 03.01.2019
My Grandad, Graham Lee Taylor was born in Rochdale on the 17th April 1931 son of Harold and Amy Taylor. Shortly after they moved to Walshaw, Bury.
He studied Dentistry at Manchester University and following his graduation in 1955, he spent two years serving in the Royal Air Force. Upon leaving the RAF, he began his career at a Dental Practice in Whitefield, which he took over in 1960.
He married his beloved wife Myra in 1958 and the following year their son Alan was born.
He spent a lot of his spare time as an active member of the Radcliffe Rotary Club, of which he was the longest serving member at 48 years. In more recent years, he also became a member of the Turton Probus Club.
Graham was the most wonderful Husband, Dad, Grandad and friend to many. He will be sorely missed but we have so many happy memories.<br />

Love you Always

Graham and my Dad were best friends first meeting as students. I knew him as "Uncle Graham". Over the years I grew to see him as a gentle and kind gentleman. He has been a loyal and caring friend to my dad. We will miss him but are grateful that he was a true friend.

As I lie here, wide awake with jet lag, in an unfamiliar hotel room in Auckland, having just read Graham's Granddaughters' touching eulogy I have an image of Graham running through my mind. It is an image of a big man in every way. Big in stature, big in spirit and big in joie de vie. I met him when I joined Radcliffe Rotary over twenty years ago. He epitomised everything that is good about Rotary.indeed everything that is good about humanity. In all my years in the club I never heard him utter a bad word about anybody. He was the archetypal Rotarian. His quiet, almost diffident, manner of speech belied a man of great determination. You only need to look at how he looked after his beloved Myra in the last few years. I will miss his warmth, honesty and, above all the twinkle in his eye. I am sorry to be missing his funeral. I hope he finds a Rotary club in the sky somewhere.
Any Rotary club would be lucky to have him.
