Claude Taylor, 75, died at his home with his wife by his side on Sunday afternoon August 22nd 2021.

The husband of Nancy Taylor, he was born in Bridgeton and was a lifelong resident of the area. In fact he purchased property across the road from his childhood home. There he spent a lifetime first clearing the ground then grain farming for almost forty years. In addition he had a passion for hunting and he enjoyed all of his friends at The Back Neck Gun Club. Hunting also took him to several states including Arkansas, Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Maine as well as Ontario Canada.

Claude retired from Chrysler Corporation Newark DE Assembly in 1996 after thirty-two years of hard work and occasional tomfoolery. He began his career on the vehicle assembly line and progressed to becoming a skilled tradesman and often worked as a union representative for his local UAW.

The family would like to recognize his longtime friends, the Durham family, with whom he spent countless hours farming, hunting and lots of story-telling.

Claude leaves behind his siblings Donald Taylor (Laurel Lake) Sara Glenning (Cedarville) Barbara Drummonds (Sparta TN) and Cliff Taylor (Denise) of Souderton PA.

Burial will be private at the discretion of the family.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made in Claude's memory to The Michael J. Fox Foundation.
