In lieu of flowers, those so wishing are invited to donate to “Adopt a Mustang” at Western.

Bert was particularly proud of his educational upbringing at Dufferin Public School and BCI in Brantford, and the University of Western Ontario where he was always a proud Mustang as his blood ran purple! He completed his undergraduate and Masters degree at Western in the 1960’s where he played on the Western Mustangs Football team (split end and defensive back) and the varsity wrestling team.

Dr. Taylor returned to London in 1982 where he served as Dean of the Faculty of Physical Education and the Faculty of Kinesiology for over 16 years and was instrumental in the formation of the Faculty of Health Sciences at Western. He leaves behind a legacy. His extensive contributions to the scientific community in the area of muscle biochemistry will continue to be cited long after he is gone.

Please contact Western Alumni if you require information in an alternate format or have other accessibility needs.
