Dearest J. Paul Taylor,
Happy HAPPY 100th Birthday to one of the most amazing men ever! You have, still, and will always make such an impact on our beautiful communities of Las Cruces and Mesilla!
My family has known you since the get go. My Dad, Edward, his siblings Carlos, Minnie, Rosie, Benita, Elena and Alfonso Montano were all born in Chamberino and some went to school with you. You and they always had fond memories and wonderful stories to tell, way back when…
My Uncle Carlos always said
“You, were the smartest kid in the class!”
My Mom, Eileen Butler also had wonderful stories to tell, she and her families were born in Mesilla and she was hired by you as a teachers aide at Bradley elementary, way back when…
My son, Ryan and my daughter Stacia were taught by your daughter Mary Helen Ratje, way back when…
I went to LCHS school with Rose Mary and Dolores and I both had a passion for making jewelry, especially rosaries, way back when…
So we ALL have special and fond memories of you and your family.
We all love and cherish you,
Vita Montano
Happy HAPPY 100th
