“I want to honor the life of Robert Taylor, the former mayor of Hookerton who recently passed away. He served in the Army, worked as a firefighter, and led our town as mayor for 17 years. I send my condolences to his family.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Town of Hookerton and all of Greene County mourn the passing of Mayor Robert ``Bob’’ Taylor. Bob was a dear friend, and it was a privilege to know a man whose life reflected faith, hard work, and service to others. Born and raised in Greene County, he answered our Nation’s call to serve in the United States Army before returning home to serve the community he loved. Whether protecting his neighbors through the Hookerton Fire Department, mentoring young people in his church, or faithfully serving as mayor for 17 years, Bob always put others first. Mr. Speaker, his leadership was never about recognition. It was simply about making Hookerton a better place. Above all, Bob was a devoted husband to Carolyn for 65 years, a loving father and grandfather, and a man whose Christian faith shaped every chapter of his life. I extend my deepest condolences to his family.”
