Norman Taylor the 1st, 79, of Saranac, NY passed the morning of 8 November in his home surrounded by many loved ones. Norman battled late stage cancer in the final weeks of his life. Norman was born 15 April 1944 at Plattsburgh’s Physicians Hospital. Norman served in the United States Army from 1961 to 1964, primarily in Germany. Norman worked at Pratt & Whitney in Connecticut after his time in the service. This was followed by a career at Georgia Pacific in Plattsburgh for 34 years. Norman enjoyed working outside, watching Gunsmoke, hunting and fishing, and spending time with his grandkids and great grand kids. His outdoor work consisted much of working on his small farm which in his life had cows, horses, donkeys, geese, and chickens. He tapped trees and made maple syrup every spring, which is continued by his kin. He is survived by his sister Meredith Staley (Taylor), his wife Angela Taylor (Smart), his children Tammy Brousseau (Taylor), Norman Taylor 2nd, and Matthew Taylor. His grandchildren Dustin Brousseau, Heather Couture (Brousseau), Colleen Provost (Brousseau), Macy Taylor, Alaina Taylor, and Nevaeh Taylor. His great grandchildren Carson Couture, Landon Provost, Loghan Brousseau, and Raelynn Couture. As well as his dog and sidekick, Isabella. Normans life will be celebrated in a small gathering with friends and family.
