Everett Taylor

On May 5, 2014, our beloved Everett “Paul” Taylor passed away of apparent heart failure. Paul was a loving brother, father, and grandpa and an exceptional human being.

He was a graduate of Benton Central High School in 1978, and enlisted shortly thereafter in the U. S. Marine Corps, serving from 1978 until 1989. For the past 24 years, he has been an associate at SIA, most recently working on the engine line.
