Frederick Taylor
1932-2020
Frederick Reid Taylor, 87, of Moncton,
NB passed away at Serena Care Special Care Home, Moncton, on
Wednesday, August 12, 2020. Born October 5, 1932 in Moncton, he was
the son of the late Elmer and Adelaide (Steeves)
Taylor.
Frederick was a graduate of Moncton High
School and Chicago Vocational College specializing in Diesel Engine
Technology. A machinist by trade, he retired as a Mechanical
Supervisor from C.N. Rail Motive Power Division with 36 years of
service.
Following retirement he and his wife,
Nadine, spent 15 years at their winter home in Vero Beach, Florida
where they made many acquaintances and friendships. He was a former
local chairman of the International Association of Machinists, C.N.
Pensioners Association, Moncton Y’s Men Club, and Prince
Albert Lodge H26 I.O.O.F. Frederick also served a three year term as
president of Champlain Condominium Association in Dieppe. He was a
former member of Wesley Memorial Church and is survived by his loving
wife, Nadine (Wilson) Taylor.
Frederick was a kind and generous man
who believed in helping the less fortunate and those in need. His
strong Christian belief that “I am my brother and
sister’s keeper and do for others as you would have them do
for you” held true throughout his life. He also believed that it
is better to give than to receive and contributed generously to
numerous charities, helping those in need – the sick, poor,
homeless, and those trying to better themselves in
life.
With respect to Frederick’s
wishes, his remains have been donated to Dalhousie University for
medical research. Cremation to follow, with burial in the family lot
at Gray’s Island Cemetery, Hillsborough, at a later
date.
If desired memorials to the NB Kidney
Foundation or a charity of your choice would be appreciated.
Arrangements are in the professional care of Salisbury Funeral Home,
3350 Route 106, Salisbury West, NB (506-372-4800).
