From wagonhoe's wife
Hello. I'm Mark Taylor's (wagonhoe) wife, Carolyn. I don't know if anyone reading this thread will remember Mark but I think he was pretty active on this forum. He was truly a 67-72 Chevy lover. I recently ran into one of Mark's friends who also frequents this forum and he suggested I write to you. I have some bad news for you all.
Mark was killed on September 15th in a motorcycle accident. He was coming home from work when an unlicensed driver made a u turn in front of him and killed him instantly. It is hard to explain the devastation this has caused me and my family. Mark was a great guy in every sense of the word and he is deeply missed. We're currently going through the legal system. She's been charged with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter. She's pleading not guilty so far, but we're hoping she'll change that to guilty real soon. If anyone wants I can keep you posted on how that's going. So, if you were wondering why wagonhoe hasn't been around for a while, that is why. I'm so sorry to have to tell you this.

Re: From wagonhoe's wife
Carolyn,
Sorry to hear of Mark's passing. Hope your needs are met and justice prevails. Many of us live in SoCal and I have family in the San Diego area. In fact my wife just arrived in Carmel Mountain Ranch as I am typing this. If you need anything just give a shout out. |
