John Taylor was once described as 'the most popular man in Delaware County.'
It was an understatement.
I have met tons of public officials in the three decades and change that I have been working in Delaware County. My line of work, the newspaper racket, brings me into fairly regular interactions with public officials. Those are not always pleasant. There was nothing unpleasant about John Taylor.
He served as deputy police chief in Chester before handling three terms as county sheriff.
Taylor died on Wednesday at age 94. We didn't have him long enough.
