Happy Birthday my dear friend. It was said best in the video, just hearing your name brings a smile to anyone’s face. This is certainly true for me and I am truly honored to get to know you and call you a friend. I look forward to getting to see you again when it is safe to do so. Thank you for being a pillar of hope and compassion in our community, it is incredibly inspiring.

We had such good times with you and your family in historical society.  Also, when I was librarian at University Hills, a highlight was when you would come there and talk to classes about NM history.  You made each student feel special, and gave each  information that no one else could.

I’m sorry I’m late John Paul but I hope you had a WONDERFUL weekend of love from your beautiful family! Sending our best wishes.

Happy Birthday Mr. Taylor. My mom and I appreciate and honor you. 💜

Happy Birthday, Mr. Taylor. You have indeed been blessed by God Almighty to see 100 years! Thanks for being a blessing to so many others in return.

Happy birthday! I was very glad to serve as the first chairperson of the J Paul Taylor Early Childhood Task Force.

Happy Birthday, Rep. Taylor!  I was always so happy to work with you during your years (& mine) at the Legislature. Your graciousness and commitment to the well-being of so many of our state’s citizens always inspired me.  Hope you are celebrating well!

All best wishes to you, J. Paul Taylor. You have always been a role model and inspiration to me. Thank you for your many gifts to NM. Happy 100th!

Mr Taylor, you helped me so much when I was writing grants for street paving in Mesilla in the early 1980s. I came to you to have all checks signed and we would talk. Con graduations and may God bless you on your birthday!

Happy Birthday Mr. Taylor. My dad (Edward) and Uncle Carlos Montano would talk about you and your young years growing up in Chamberino. You always came around when my Uncle Carlos was in town and came to family occasions (Vita’s wedding). That’s who you were. Gave of your time to others. Wishing you a Beautiful Birthday Blessing.

Mr. Taylor,
Happy 100th from the entire KRWG Public Media staff! We thank you for all that you’ve done for the citizens of New Mexico.

Dear Mr. Taylor, You were my principal at Alameda Elementary many years ago, and I will never forget your kindness in that role.

Happy 100th Birthday Paul! We hope that your birthday is filled with family and great memories today! Thanks for helping Frank in his transition from Mexico to Las Cruces as a boy. Love.

I had the honor of meeting you once during an NMSU class tour of your Santos collection. You were such a pleasure to talk with then and every time I ran into you after that. Happy birthday to a fabulous man!

Happy Birthday Paul!! You are one of the most amazing people we have ever met. We have loved your visits over the last several years, with your beautiful daughters, to our shop in Santa Fe. We hope to get down there to visit soon. Love to you and your family!! 💜💛🎂💛💜

My fondest memory of representative Taylor is the biscochito debate in the legislature, where he brought his high academic standards to a lighthearted moment in an otherwise serious day. I had the good fortune to be in the gallery. The biscochito became our state cookie. Happy birthday and many more.

Happy 100th Birthday Mr. Taylor! Thank you for all you have done and continue to do for our community and state. You have a wonderful and awesome family.

Thinking of you and wishing you a wonderful 100th Birthday.

You have done so much on behalf of children and families in New Mexico. You are one of our state’s greatest treasures and I count myself lucky to know you. Love.

Happy Birthday John Paul Taylor, you have inspired me to be much more than I thought I could be, as a teacher I will strive to commit to my students as much as you did. I wish you many years and I wish we could celebrate your birthday in person. Happy 100th Birthday!

Greetings from admirers in Oregon, formerly New Mexicans. Do you recall coming to our house in Santa Fe for a party with binational migrant folks about 8 years ago? You rode up in the elevator and greeted us all with a big smile. Your commitment and caring, selfless sharing, and love for one and all is a beacon of light that shines brightly. May you celebrate this and many more birthdays with those you love.

HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY, J. PAUL TAYLOR! We hope that your Birthday Cake is as good as this one!

With love from Gus & Karin Seligmann & Nancy Ann Prichard Warner

Rep. Taylor, I will always remember and thank you so much for your work with me on acheiving the passage of NM licensure for mental health counselors in the early 1990’s. Of course, this was one of many of your great accomplishments for New Mexico!
