Don Taylor

Don passed away on New Year’s Day 2023, aged 88, after a two-year contest with cancer. His professional life was characterised by an interest in making things work.He recalled fondly his time as an engineer in the Army and his fascination with radio and radar technology; he worked as a technician in various roles for many years, following with enthusiasm the development of computing which spanned his lifetime. His later interest in psychology and counselling perhaps followed naturally, transferring from machinery to human minds. He loved to sail and sing, performing parlour songs even into the last months of his life. Don spent his later years in the New Forest, taking great enjoyment in good food, company, music, and his dogs, being cared for magnificently by his wife, Julie Tate. He is survived by Julie and his five children.
