"David, Charlie, Greg and families, I am so sorry you've had to say goodbye to your dad. I loved Byron, and I love you "boys". Byron was always an encouragement to me and I always knew he'd have a big smile and a hearty hug for me. My husband has surgery on Wednesday, so I won't be able to come down for the viewing and service, but please know that you are all in my heart. Ruth (Baker) Taylor"
