  3. So sorry to see this Dick and I were friends before we were teenagers and friends to both
    Rose Mary and Dick while we lived in Kirkwood, Mo. I’m so proud to say I was the best man in their wedding and Dick was the best man in our wedding as well. I was also named the godfather of their first son Kevin. My thoughts are with your family and I think of Dick and Rose Mary and your family often.

  11. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Taylor Family. We are very sad to hear of the loss of Dick Taylor. Dick and I were Match Directors together for the Cowboy Action Shooters at the Arnold Rifle and Pistol club. We worked many hours together building the western town he loved so much. He loved cowboy action shooting and he loved his family. He would always share stories about his kids and there latest accomplishments or promotions. You could tell that he was so proud of his family because he just couldn’t stop smiling when he talked about them. He was a good man to “ride the trail with”! He will be missed. Adios , my friend. Bob and Melita Sieck

  17. Kevin, Brian and Melissa,
    Unfortunately, we will not be able to make the service for Dick due to side affects I am having from the radiation for my prostate cancer. I am limited to close proximity to my home. We are both very disappointed that we cannot give you our condolences in person. Dick and Rose Mary were 2 very special people in our lives, and we loved them both. Our deepest sympathies, Lew (Dwight) and Sue Pinkley

  19. I’m so sad to hear of Doc’s passing. My condolences to his family and friends. Whenever I saw him, he would always give a sincere greeting at the range or at meetings. Though we didn’t speak at length often, you could tell his level of commitment to ARPC, his peers in Cowboy Town and to the shooting sports. The place he held as a fellow club member is huge and will not be easily filled. Doc’s has some big boots. Is it alright to say, “Happy Trails!” ? May you rest in peace.

  21. I am so sorry to find that my “summertime “ friend passed away. Dick and I first met many years ago when he came each summer to spend time with his grandparents, the Rothwells. We were less than 10 years of age when we first met. Each year when he came through Moberly, on his way to Huntsville, we would meet at a restaurant, have a nice meal, and catch up on our lives and laugh about the ‘good ole times”. He will be sorely missed.
