The TWU International is sad to announce that TWU Local 700 President Robert Taylor III passed away on April 3. Taylor served as Local President for 34 years.
“My deepest condolences go out to Robert’s family and loved ones,” said TWU International President John Samuelsen. “Robert was a great and respected leader and will be truly missed by all.”
In addition to serving the union, he was also a co-host on the Philadelphia-based Jasper Jones (Radio) Show, was Secretary-Treasurer, of the Friends of Wharton Square, Local Advisory Council, and frequently gave public comments at Philadelphia City Council meetings on issues of importance to Local 700 members and the greater community.
