Glyn was born and brought up in England. His education began in a small school on the English side of the River Wye, then village schools near Oxford (where his father was born, brought up and educated). Walking to school through one of these villages Glyn used to pass the modest graveyard where Winston Churchill was buried. By 6 his flair for mathematics showed when he would solve problems in different bases by manipulating bottle caps collected by the class teacher from the local pubs!

After completing school at Wheatley Park Comprehensive, Glyn studied at City University, London, England receiving a BSc Honours in Aeronautical Engineering. He worked for various aeronautical companies in Britain for 5 years, then 10 years for Boeing until beginning his own company in 1997. TASS INC, Taylor Aerospace was Glyn's life's work and has since expanded to become a thriving international company with a home office near Seattle, and offices in the EU and Asia-Pacific.

Many will remember Glyn as someone with a rare combination of passion for engineering, creative entrepreneurialism and the ability to build caring and productive relationships in business. He was always strong, dedicated and entirely determined to build a solid and prosperous company - both for its own sake and as a support for his family. Those of us who knew him well knew that beneath his dry and sometimes sarcastic wit was a generosity and compassion that came from the heart.

Glyn David Taylor born on July 8, 1960 in Bampton, Oxfordshire, England, died September 6, 2012 in Seattle after a 3 year tenacious struggle with cancer. He will be remembered and missed by colleagues, friends and particularly by family - his wife Patty McCoy Taylor, sons Jarrett and Quinn and twin daughters Kiana and Jaiden; his mother Gail Wicks Taylor, his father David Taylor and stepmother Kathy Johnson, siblings Karen, Michael, Chris and Jeremy, their spouses and children; his father and mother-in-law Oscar and Barbara McCoy, his brothers-in-law Oscar Jr. and Dennis McCoy, their wives and children.
