Tom was a great leader for our City. My condolences to Phyliss and the entire Taylor family. Here's a link to a WLND show I had the honor to do with Tom and Andy Spisak in 2013.

Message from Mayor Kevin Coleman:

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of the City of Westland’s third Mayor, Thomas (Tom) F. Taylor.

Tom was born in 1936 and moved to Nankin Township when he was 11 years old, right after the end of World War II. After graduation Tom served in the Marine Corps.

Tom served as mayor from 1975-1982, a pivotal period in the city’s early development. His leadership helped guide Westland as it matured from a newly incorporated city into a stable and growing community.

Mayor Taylor was the driving force behind the development of Taylor Towers, championing the vision of safe, affordable, and independent housing for Westland’s senior residents. Equally significant was the financial sustainability model he advanced, which enabled the facility to remain solvent, adaptable, and well maintained over time. That model continues to support ongoing upgrades and long-term stability for Taylor Towers decades later.

Through foresight, steady leadership, and a commitment to residents of all ages, Mayor Taylor left a lasting legacy. Taylor Towers stands as a living testament to his dedication to public service and to the City of Westland.

We express our condolences to Tom’s wife Phyllis and his entire family.
