Chuck is most notably known as the devoted husband of his beloved wife, best friend, and life-long love, Linda Sue Taylor. Married 25 years, Chuck and Linda are still inseparable, and carry on their love and friendship supported by their five loving and beautiful daughters.
Past owner of The Cutting Horse Restaurant and Founder of Western Utility Plumbing, Mr. Taylor proudly supported San Benito County. Raised in King City, Chuck Taylor was brought up by his proud parents, Louis and Opal Grooms, who undoubtedly infused this fine man with all the love, respect and family values that any son would dream of. He was raised among the love and guidance of his sister, Betty De la Llera (Tony De la Llera), beloved brother Doyle Taylor, and sister Charlene DePratti (Alfred DePratti). Chuck and Linda have dedicated their lives to one another and proudly raising five extremely thankful young women, Elizabeth Addamo (David Addamo), Jacqueline Foggio (Andrew Foggio), Stacey Taylor, Tracey Taylor, and Misty Rimassa. He is their hero, and he will always be their strength and motivation as they carry on, raising his 15 grandchildren with the same love and devotion that was consistently provided to them. He also continues to be loved by numerous in-laws, nephews, nieces, his godson Marc DePratti, and those he lovingly extended his family to, including his long-wanted son George Amaral and wife Kathy.
Known by so many, the names of the friends and family of Chuck Taylor would undoubtedly fill this entire paper. Linda wishes to extend her love to Manuel, Joe, Edward, John, and Carlos Amaral and their Families, as well as the Mohsin Family, whom Chuck loved dearly. For those that wish to support Linda with her never-ending Journey of Love, the Taylor family invites you to:
