The family of Henry R. Taylor Jr. has invited the Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) to attend the Military Honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It will be our honor to do so.
Henry was a graduate of Banning High School, San Pedro in 1957.
After high school he enlisted in the United States Army and served during Vietnam. Henry was a Military Police while in service. He honorably served his country from 1967 to 1969. He obtained the rank of Private at the end of his service.
After the service, he went on to work for Builders Emporium as the Vice President of Human Resources. He worked there for over 25 years. Henry also worked for Forever 21, at their corporate office in Los Angeles.
Henry enjoyed traveling and following his favorite teams the Lakers and the Angels. He would frequently go to Creedence Clearwater Revisited Band concerts.
He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Henry is survived by his wife Victoria, four children, seventeen grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren and his brother Gary.

You do not have to be a Veteran or a motorcycle rider to attend this mission. Everyone is welcome. We encourage those who do not ride to attend in your car. If this will be your first mission go to the initial staging area and you will be briefed there by the R/C (Ride Captain). Dress for motorcycle riding or dress casually if you are driving a cage (car). Please feel free to attend any portion of this mission you can. Please ride/drive safely.
Please remember that our mission is to stand tall and silent, and with honor and respect for our Heroes. No talking, smoking, or cell phone use during the flag line or service. Please keep radios off and engine noise to a minimum. Observe the 15 MPH speed limit. Remember, cemeteries are hallowed ground. Show respect to all who are there, not just the ones we are honoring.
