Charles Harrington Taylor passed away peacefully on January 12, 2018. Charlie was born in 1948 in Wilmington, DE. His parents were the Honorable Clarence W. Taylor and Janet Grubb Taylor.
Charlie attended P.S DuPont High School and the University of Delaware. From 1979 to 1999, he happily lived on the ocean just south of Dewey beach. He was an avid surf fisherman and also enjoyed crabbing, clamming and boating. For 20 years, he hosted a fall party at the beach house signifying the end of the summer season. Each year all of his friends would look forward attending this “end of summer” bash and playing volleyball.
In 1999, he moved to Georgetown, DE to get away from the “tourists” because the “beach season” had become all year long. For many years, Charlie was a member of Milford bowling league and enjoyed the camaraderie with his friends, bowling several times each week.
Charlie loved animals and had a succession of dogs; spoiling them was the focal point of every day. Those of you who knew Charlie may remember his dogs Tasha, Lori, Ciri, Fu or Kay. He loved long walks on the beach with his dogs all year no matter what the weather.
Charlie had a unique way of looking at the world through the lens of a funny, quirky sense of humor. He enjoyed a good joke. Charlie was a loyal friend and brother and will be deeply missed.
He is survived by his brothers C. W. “Rod” Taylor and Jonathan B. Taylor, their wives Barbara Taylor and Leslie Carboni Taylor, nephew Case M. Taylor and niece Jenna M. Taylor.
Services will be private.
