Grovetown, GA – James Benjamin Taylor, 83, loving husband of the late Merle Mutimer Taylor, entered into rest, Monday, June 19, 2017, at home.
Mr. Taylor was a native of Los Angeles, CA. While studying at the University of Nevada, he was drafted for the Vietnam Conflict and sent to Camp Gordon, as it was known then, for Boot Camp. He attended Hillcrest Baptist Church while in Augusta and there he met his late wife. When he had completed his term of service, he returned to California where they were married.
Mr. Taylor returned to the University of Nevada, where he completed degrees in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and History. He then went to work in the Aerospace field working with NASA to send most of the Apollo Missions into space. When the Apollo program was complete, he returned to school to earn his Law degree. With his background in Engineering, he was qualified to sit the Patent exam and successfully passed. He practiced law until he retired, with his practice focused primarily in Real Estate and Bankruptcy.
