George "Bucky" E. Taylor - Obituary

eorge "Bucky" Taylor, age 84, passed away peacefully in Annapolis, MD on December 31, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. Bucky was a devoted husband to Judy Taylor; a loving father to his children, Christine (Jay) Robertson and David (Louise) Taylor; a proud grandfather to Erica(Matt), Taylor, Curtis and Cole (Shelby) and was blessed to be a great-grandfather to Ava and Charlotte, who brought him great happiness. In 1979, Bucky founded Taylor Utilities. His employees were like family to him, and he was deeply loyal to them in return. Known for his integrity, Bucky believed that a person's word mattered - when he gave his word, that was all you needed. Work was truly his passion and joy. His knowledge of repairing and installing underground water and sewer mains was unsurpassed, and many in the industry regularly sought him out for advice, guidance, and perspective. He was widely respected not only for his expertise, but for the character and fairness with which he conducted his business. Outside of work, Bucky found great happiness boating on the Chesapeake Bay. He also had a lifelong appreciation for Porsche cars, admiring their engineering, performance and craftmanship - interests that reflected his high standards and attention to detail. Bucky was generous and dependable, with a great sense of humor that stayed with him throughout his life. Even in his final days, he made the nurses and doctors smile and laugh with his humor. Nothing brought him more happiness than being surrounded by his family - including the family dogs, who were very much part of that circle of love. He will be remembered for his strength, his generosity, his laughter, and for always being there to support those he loved. Friends are invited to celebrate Bucky’s life on Thursday, January 8 from 4 to 7 pm at the Kalas Funeral Home & Crematory, 2973 Solomons Island Rd., Edgewater, MD. Private services will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made online in his memory to Gilchrist Hospice Bucky will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
