Mr. Clinton R. "Buddy" Taylor

February 17, 1938 - October 6, 2020

Clinton R. "Buddy" Taylor of Ridgely MD passed suddenly at home on October 6, 2020 at the age of 82. He was born in Annapolis MD to the late Brownie Taylor and Dorothy Kiser Taylor. At the age of 20 he enlisted in the Army and served 4 years in Germany doing mechanical work. He then had a long career with the International Union of Elevator Constructors working in Washington D.C. and surrounding areas. Buddy will be remembered as a quiet, humble and caring person. He was always willing to help a friend in need. Throughout his retirement he spent many hours tinkering with mechanical and electrical things, and making them work again. And if you needed a part, he probably had it. Buddy was most happy fishing or enjoying steamed crabs. Along with family gatherings and getting away on drivable vacations. Besides his parents he is also preceded in death by his daughter Christina Taylor Spriggs. He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Carol Edwards Taylor, son Robert Taylor of New Jersey, step-daughter Donna Blockston Coscia (Mike) of Greensboro, grandchildren Jena and Brady Coscia and brother-in-law Laurence Edwards and a long list of extended family. Services will be private.
