Hugh Holloway Taylor died at his home after an illness of several months on Thursday, May 22, 2008.

He was born in Charlottesville, Virginia, on July 18, 1941, to the late Guy N. Taylor and Ruby Holloway Taylor. Hugh attended Albemarle County schools and graduated from Albemarle High School in 1959. He attended The College of William and Mary, graduating in 1963. He received his Masters Degree in 1965 from George Washington University.

Leake and Charles B. Goddin. He is also survived by other cousins and some very loyal and faithful friends including his friend from college, Eugene DeAnzorena of Alexandria, Virginia, Larry Martindale of Charlottesville, Virginia; and a niece, Teresa Bryant.

The Professor, as he was affectionately known by his students, loved to travel and visited many countries, often accompanied by some of his students.
