Surrounded by love, family and friends, Morley Smith Taylor, born August 11, 1931, passed away peacefully at Brampton Civic Hospital on Wednesday, November 20, 2013. Cherished husband of Linda, loving father of Shelley (Nick), Carole (Scott), Roger, and Dale. Devoted 'Papa" of Brianne, Nicholas, Joshua, Jada and Chloe. Pre-deceased by brothers Bob and Jack. Will be missed by brothers and sisters-in-law Bernice, Lionel and Jennie, Louis and Pat, Chris and Olive, Phil and Gilly, Roy and Pauline and the late Hugh and Vivian. Will be lovingly remembered by many nieces and nephews. Retired employee of Harper Detroit Diesel, where he worked as Parts Manager.
Morley spent the last few months of his life as a resident of Peel Manor, and had spent a significant amount of time at Brampton Civic Hospital throughout the past 2 years.
The family would like to thank the staff at both Brampton Civic Hospital and Peel Manor for the phenomenal care and support they provided to Morley. The doctors, nurses, physio-therapists, respirologists, social workers, speech-language pathologists, dieticians, discharge co-ordinators, porters, palliative staff, ICU, E/R, and other support workers were amazing. Special thanks to the Slow Stream Rehab staff, who worked tirelessly to encourage and motivate Morley in his rehab.
Morley had a wicked sense of humour, a zest for life, loved to travel, and was a passionate sports fan. He made everyone in his presence feel important and loved. He will be well-remembered and always loved
