Richard Taylor
July 19, 1939 — January 21, 2020
On January 21, 2020 Richard "Colin" Taylor died at home in Casper, WY.
Colin was born on July 19, 1939 to Oscar "Sandy" Taylor and Ethel "Peggie" Taylor in Casper, WY. The family lived and ranched in the Hole-In-The-Wall country of Natrona and Johnson County before moving to Montana where Colin attended school, graduating from the Montana School of Mines with a degree in petroleum engineering.
Colin met Carolyn "Connie" Fales in Cody, WY, and the two were married on February 10, 1967. Colin and Connie moved to Casper where Colin worked at R. L. Manning until it closed.
Colin was active in Alcoholics Anonymous in Casper, and worked as an addiction counselor, helping many to free themselves from addiction.
Colin enjoyed camping and fishing, but his great passion was the history of the Hole-In-The-Wall country.
Colin was preceded in death by his parents and two bothers, Russell and Lynn Taylor. Colin is survived by his daughters Glenna Fales (Cody), Debbie Taylor (Casper), and Gari Michele Taylor-Leete (Steven, Casper), as well as numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren.
At his request, there will be no funeral services. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Hoofprints of the Past Museum in Kaycee, WY.
