Gordon Williston Taylor, known to those close to him as “Butch,” of Milford, N.H., passed away peacefully on April 19, 2026.

Butch was born in Acushnet, Massachusetts on February 22, 1947 to the late Charles W. and Marion (Booth) Taylor. A beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend, Butch will be remembered for his kindness, work ethic, humor, and love of life. He spent his years doing what he loved as a mechanic and welder, volunteering at the VFW, riding his motorcycle and most of all, spending time with loved ones. A music lover at heart you would always find him singing and dancing whenever he got the chance.

He is survived by his daughter, Kristi Taylor and her partner Charles Braley; his granddaughters, Tayla Schipilliti and her husband, Daniel Cerecedo, and Mya Schipilliti; his sister, Shirley Zamoida; Nieces, Stepchildren and their families. He is predeceased by his sister Barbara Orff.

A Special thank you to Brenda Taylor and Charles Braley for supporting Kristi and making many visits to see Butch in the hospital with her during this difficult time.

A celebration of life will be held on Friday May 8, 2026 @ 5pm at the Milford VFW. Donations of sympathy may be made in memory of Butch to the Community Hospice House of Merrimack. https://hhhc.org/
