Taylor Allison Greene

March 23, 1929 – August 25, 2011

“Tag” was born & raised in Asheville, NC. He completed high school there and was offered a football scholarship to High Point College where he earned a bachelors degree. There followed several years of military service in the USAF. In 1959 he was transferred by Nationwide Insurance Co. to the Pacific Northwest, settling in Bellevue. Later he established the first marketing department at Seafirst Bank (now Bank of America) which introduced the first ATM system in Washington State. At the same time he earned an MBA from Seattle University. His interests & community activities were many. Skiing, handball, and slow-pitch softball (pitcher) ranked high among them. He was a ski instructor for several different schools & volunteered as an umpire for the Seattle Parks/Recreation Department. He worked the polls on election day and served as a lay reader in the Episcopal Church. He and his wife walked many a mile with the Volkswalk organization; he never missed the STP bicycle race with his daughter. Favorite places include Hawaii (The 12 coconuts) and Lake Chelan. He was loads of fun and has been described as “larger than life”. He will surely and sorely be missed. Remembering him are: wife Joyce; children Taylor, Jr., Gretchen and Stuart; grandchildren Genevieve, Malcolm and Maxwell; sister “Pudge”; and former wife Nancy; and of course many friends. Memorials include a funeral at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Sequim on Thursday, September 15 at 1:00 pm; and a Service of Remembrance on Saturday, September 17 at 12:00 noon, at the Bellevue Christian Reformed Church, 1221 148th Ave NE.
