We Remember
TAYLOR, Robert Leslie “Les”
August 6, 1935 — January 27, 2020
On January 27, 2020, at the age of 84, Les Taylor of Peachland, passed away, as he wanted to – at home, with his boots on. He leaves behind his 5 loving children: Murray, Barbara, Russell, Dean, and Brenda; and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Sadly, he was predeceased by his son David.
Born to Gordon and Agnes Taylor the youngest of his many siblings, Les was industrious. After an 8-year career as a police officer, Les left the force to follow his dreams and he became an entrepreneur. His many endeavours throughout his life always kept him working hard and it was clear by how he lived that he valued hard work. In the moments that he did take a rest it was common for him to head outdoors. He loved hunting and fishing. Les was a good man and he will be missed by friends and family alike.

I’m so sorry to hear of your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss. Sending love and hugs from Vancouver Island.
We are so sorry for the loss of your father. We really enjoyed visiting him and had great times together.
My thoughts are with you and your family. I have an entrepreneur memory to share: He once said he wanted to bottle water and sell it. At the time we laughed, why bottle water when you can get it from the tap. Little did we know Nestle grabbed that idea and ran with it. He was a very creative thinker.
