It is most regretful that I inform you that
"JOSE" passed away late Friday evening at home. He was
admitted to the hospital last Monday and in all truthfulness I did not
expect him to leave alive but he took a turn for the better and came
home on Thursday but passed away Friday.
His
wife MARY ELISABETH and his little dog was with him backed up by a
caregiver. His wife said he wanted to be cremated with no services and
she will retain his ashes until she passes then she will be cremated and
both interned at
He lived a full life and I truly believe it ended his way. His health had deteriorated this past year and he was suffering badly with a failing heart and lungs. I followed him for almost a year at NAD DA NANG and he was not just a true comrade but a compulsive "HUNTER" always on the prowl for the bad guy.
Captain would you please put the word out to those on the West Coast who served/knew "JOSE."
Best
to all BOB NISSLEY..............

Dear Rio,
Rudy and I do enjoy reading your messages. Thanks so much for keeping us on your list. Really sad about Jose, know he's been sick for quite awhile. I know we have a slide of him from a Med trip back in '55. We're going to look for it and I'll have a picture made to send to you. It's back when he was enlisted and in uniform, I can picture it but just have to find it. Hope all is well with you and LouLou.
Fond regards,
Marge Boesch

Jose' was in my class, class 07. We were
good friends. When going thru training he was a BM1.
Later went to Deep Sea Diving school and from there to EOD school.
Going to nite school he got a degree from Univ Maryland. Got a
commission.
Was wounded in Nam working with the spooks up in Danang. Got hit
in the stomach with a an AK47.
Truly sorry he died, will be missed.
Bruhmiller says his wife is having trouble with the VA trying to get his
benefits.

Dear Teamates,
I was a "FNG" to then LT. Jose Taylor
in Vietnam in 1967. He came to the Hotel Carter in MyTho to visit us and
that is where I met him. He treated me and also the "Young Lion
FNGs" as if we were old lost teamates.
I listened attentively to all the sea stories they shared with us about
their good old days in UDT. To us, even all the "hairy seastories"
are funny, so we had a lot of good laughs.
My immediate opinion of Jose Taylor was that I could get along with him
real good and that I could follow him anywhere anytime.
I remember him telling Lt. Bob "Mr Son" Peterson that he had
gotten word from Jake Rhinebolt that his platoon was doing great work
and that he was proud of the 7th.
Jose, I will drink a cold beer for you with great pride that I have rubbed elbows with you. May God have mercy on your soul and allow you into heaven to rest in peace. Amen.

I sad and sorry to hear about Jose Taylor's death. May he rest in peace. He was a good guy and teamate.
I guess we are all going slowly through the completion of our tour of duty, ie: death. I look at death as a new adventure with a don't sweat it attitude. Any foot prints you may have accidentally made, will be washed away with the next wave.
Life is loaned to you, live it, love it, for the joy of what you love, and whom you love. Leave your ego, status, and possessions hanging on the worlds quarter deck because you are going out with what you came here with; hopefully it will be a positive memory to a few.
In the mean time if you don't use what you got you will lose what you got.

I got to know Jose when he arrived at ST2 and took over as Ordnance Officer. It took all of two seconds to know that I'd follow him to hell and gone. He was an inspiration and a guide who influenced my career in the navy.
He made it possible for me to go back to advisory duty and still retain my SEAL quals which reflect the way I live even today.

Doc that was a beautiful tribute to Jose Taylor. When Corney Leyden and I lived together Jose would come over on a Saturday morning for coffee or Kentucky Gentlemen which ever he wanted if any was left and visit. I met Jose this way thru Corney. He was a good guy and I loved hear his stories. I have thought of him before when going back thru my memory lane.
He will be missed and by all the alkaloids from everyone who served with him have expressed in their E Mails I know his wife is surely proud to have been his mate here on earth.

Hey Rio,
Jose was in the hospital at Yokosuka with Bos'n Campbell from ST-1 and me in 69. I think he was recovering from getting shot in the belly. The whole hospital staff was scared to death of him and Campbell because they would get dressed and leave the ward and the go out in town when ever they wanted, despite direct orders from the Docs they couldn't. He was the real deal.

Mary Elizabeth Taylor and their dog "Tipper" stopped by our home and visited for about five hours. She had a briefcase full of photos of Jose Taylor and I copied some of them.
The Below Photographs are property of Mary Elizabeth Taylor (Jose's wife) and may not be used without her permission. Email Doc Rio and he will contact her for you.
Doc,
IF Jose Taylor was the Ops boss at NAD DaNang, then he'd coordinate with the Vietnamese CSS. CSS ran PTF operations up North; MST-1 did the maintenance on the PTF boats and conducted training in their maintenance. Robert Stoner MCPO
