Billy C. Taylor Sr.
March 12, 1936 - October 4, 2008
My father was deaf- was passed away, 2 years ago. We (the family) are in activity adjust without him. We always depend on him because he has lots more experienced the leaderships and an rally activist for the Deaf Rights.
I admitted his work on the deaf leadership and organization the club for the Deaf. He was always goes to meetings with deaf people from North Carolina and Northern VA and Stauntion, VA and Va Beach.
He born in Big Stone Gap, VA. where the coal family there. VERY country life. He became ill and turned deaf. He attended to VA School for the Deaf and bonded friend, John Rusnak - until they graduated in 1955. He worked at United State Postal Service for 17 years to retired. He has many through his skills from printings- publishing companies before Postal. He enjoyed his retirement since 2001 to 2008.
And he married my mother, Deanna, an originally from North Carolina but many generations years that was from Virginia- My mother's sides.
My father- was originally from southwest of Virginia connected from Mississippi- that which are unknown about- My aunt is still alive in VA Beach, VA that I am waiting for her "missing" found the Taylor-Davis generations... Interested history.
Many families of his, told me that Jefferson Davis was part of the relatives of ours. That's why I need to find out more. I am waiting my aunt for her reply.
Go back about my father-- he grow very strong and good man. He was loved with my siblings, as 6 children- He never hate them. He always hugs with any enemy.- he wants peace, positive, forgotten.
Now last two years ago, I was in Northern VA with USANA meeting- I got my pager rang, and informed me that my father passed away.
My mind was lost, speechless and drive home, I turned my brain go back to my vision of the past... with my father where I grow in. Many memories. I hold up of my tears.
I felt that I am something angry -- It's God. He took my father away. I keep saying... "God take my father away" ... like my grandma did.

They were deaf siblings.
They were wonderfully attracted with work hard for the Deaf people, like my father did. That's why Ricky Aka: Ridor9th followed up continuing. I love about my grandmother, I wanted her to live forever until I die. I can't do. She passed away in September- 1987. All of us very hyped out and very high emotion without her by gone.
How true.
Again, go back to my father's story.---
When he passed away. We felt we are still on 'tornado' with an adjust without him. My father knows something, sound like he DID NOT "left" her there in the house. My mother told me that his spirit still around and waiting. Something happens to her, my mother thinks he did poked her and woke up and look out... she found out her oxygen machine has been turn off. Seem so her cat jumped up and turned off the oxygen machine by accident.
Sometime happens to her again, he will do poke again...because something are not finished in the family.
We didn't bury him yet. It's cremated, and put it into a urm box and top on the TV set... that's why he is still there and around in the house by a spirit.
I feel him. I know he is around in the house and watch over my mom everyday and every night... he will poke her again something wrong.
Bless him.
