Francis "Pap" E. Taylor, of Red Lion, was carried home, unexpectedly, to his Lord and Savior on Tuesday, November 27, 2018, at his residence at the age of 72. He was the husband of Helen M. (Mitzel) Taylor to whom he married on October 26, 1987, celebrating 31 years together. Pap, as he was fondly known by many, was born on February 25, 1946 and was the son of the late Cletus F. and Margaret (Russell) Taylor. He was a machinist at the former New Era Dye in Red Lion and he also worked for H & H Casting in York and ELW in Dallastown, retiring after many years of employment. Pap was a life member of the Steam-O-Rama and a member of the Red Lion Elks. He was a hardworking man, never really taking time to rest, but always doing something. He was a very generous, kind and caring person, but he was also very funny, always the jokester and being silly is what is remembered. In addition to his wife, he has five children, Karla J. Tompkins, wife of Larry of Red Lion, Barbara A. Taylor of Red Lion, Brian C. Taylor, husband of Robin of York, Brent E. Taylor, husband of Carla of Red Lion and Tiffany A. Slotnik, wife of Michael of Lawrenceville, GA. He was the loving grandfather to eleven grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren.
