Circus fandom has lost a long time, faithful member, Gordon Taylor. He is pictured above (in 2001) between Paul Binder and Richard Reynolds. Gordon died on August 11th in an Atlanta area hospice of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and heart complications. He was 77. He is survived by his great friend and companion Ray Gronso.

His remains were cremated and will be interred in a cemetery in Washington, Wilkes County, Georgia over toward Augusta. He has relatives buried there.

In time, Ray Gronso will host a celebration of Gordon's life.
