An elevator operator and janitor who knew Taylor for nearly two decades said of the deceased representative:<ref name=knoxfocusmysterypart1/>
{{cquote|Congressman Taylor was never too busy to talk to the lowliest man here about any personal problem, and help however he could. When I told him sometime ago that I was planning to buy a little place of my own he said that was a wonderful idea. He went with me two or three times to look at places. And when I finally decided on one Mr. Taylor talked to the owner and helped work out terms that I could meet.}}
