Richard D. Taylor, 86, died peacefully on March 28, 2022. He is the beloved husband of Janice (Cobleigh) Taylor with whom he spent 65 years of marriage.

Richard was born in Nashua, NH on May 20, 1935, and was the son of the late George and Germaine (Soucy) Taylor.

Richard worked in Nashua for most of his career starting at J.F. McElwain where he met his future wife. He was also employed for many years at International Paper Box Machine Company and later worked at Nashua Industrial Machine Corporation until his retirement.
