George Thomas Taylor, a longtime resident of Valley Cottage, New York, passed away on April 30, 2013 at the age of 72. George is survived by his loving wife, Joan. He is also survived by his three children, Jay, Lauren, and Robert, and four grandchildren, Ryan, Bridget, Finny, and Kieran. George was a singer in one of the original doo wop bands from Brooklyn, the Bay Bops, and a detective with the New York City Police Department. He also owned a private investigation agency for many years. More recently, George could be spotted doing surveillance on the many hummingbirds that frequented his yard in the Poconos. Papa George, as he was affectionately referred to by his adoring grandchildren, will be missed by all who knew him.
