Prior to his election, he led George Taylor Hardware Limited, one of the largest post-war wholesale hardware enterprises in Canada supplying the expanding mining and forestry industries across northern Ontario and Quebec. He served on boards of numerous northern mining and business ventures. He was also actively involved in the expansion of telecommunication services throughout northeastern Ontario. During the war he served as a "dollar a day" professional as director and administrator for the Non-Ferrous Metal and Fabricated Steel group of the national Wartime Prices and Trade Board. Taylor served as a trustee on the local school board and he was a director on the Board of Temiskaming Hospital in New Liskeard, Ontario. He was a highly respected, generous community man who was always seeking opportunities for his community and the North.
Despite having polio as a young boy, he recovered and went on to be an accomplished athlete in a number of fields, most particularly running where he won awards at the high school and varsity levels.
Taylor died on vacation in Bermuda in 1991.
