Born on November 17, 1944, in De Land, Illinois, Harold was the son of the late David and Mildred (Vance) Taylor. He attended Goshen High School and spent his life rooted in family, community, and a deep love for sports.

Harold was an avid fan of the Chicago Cubs, Notre Dame football, and NASCAR. His love for the game was surpassed only by his love for his family. He enjoyed traveling, spending time with loved ones, and cheering on his favorite teams.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Judith R. (White) Taylor. He was also preceded in death by his sisters Joann Clifton, Sue Burgess, and Judith Freeby; and his brothers Richard Taylor, Rusty Taylor, and Tom Taylor.

Harold's presence was a constant source of strength and warmth. Whether it was sharing a Cubs game on a sunny afternoon or simply spending time together, he brought kindness, wisdom, and humor to every moment.

He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who know him.
