Born on June 7, 1963, in Providence, he was the son of the late Edward F. Taylor Jr. and Joan (Lynch) Taylor. He was the brother of the late Edward F. Taylor III of Rumford, and Michael R.

Pete started his career at Narragansett Electric (National Grid/RI Energy) in the summer of 1985 as a meter reader, became a lineman, worked as a troubleman, and spent the last 18 years as an Overhead Line Supervisor.

 

Pete was an avid golfer, loved singing and playing guitar, and he loved to bring his family on adventures around New England, with Newport being his favorite destination! If you knew Pete, you were a friend. He could connect with everyone he met, and never had a bad word to say about anyone. He had a funny story or anecdote for just about anything and everything! To say he will be sorely missed is truly an understatement.
