B.F. TAYLOR
Earl Wayne TAYLOR, SR.
Earl Wayne TAYLOR, SR., Professor Emeritus of the College of Design at NC State University, died peacefully at home in Cameron Park, on Wednesday, May 8th, 2024. He was 92 years old. Wayne was a man of many talents – a well-known artist, architect, craftsman, and teacher of basic design. He was influenced from an early age by the woods, the farms, and the waters of Coinjock Bay in Currituck County where he played as a boy. This instilled a strong spirit of independence that has marked his life. His record of accomplishments is distinctive. Wayne was born Earl Wayne TAYLOR on August 30th, 1931, in Maple, North Carolina to parents Emest Wheatley and Katherine Forbes TAYLOR. Some of his earliest and fondest memories were cutting paths through the woods and swamp or building boats, trains and big equipment with his brother Ben. His parents encouraged him to create and to work, either on the farm or in his father’s general store. He preferred building to either and began his work in carpentry with Will SNOWDEN at the age of 15. He won state and regional awards in automotive design in 1947 from the Fisher Body Craftsmen’s Guild.
Additionally, he earned the rank of
Eagle Scout in 1948. He graduated from Moyock High School and began his
university career at NCSU in mechanical engineering in 1949, changing to design
after his first semester, his freshman year.
During his military service in the Coast Guard from 1951 - 1952, Wayne was
stationed at Cape Hatteras where he participated and trained in the Loran
(radio) Communication systems and operations, which he talked about often. Upon
completion of his service, he returned to the School of Design and earned his
Batchelor of Architecture in 1958 with Book Awards for excellence in design from
the NC Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. He then taught drawing
as an instructor at the School of Design while conducting research with Horacio
Caminos on membranous structures – shell like structures of very thin reinforced
concrete. This research is what earned him the 1960 Prix de Rome in
Architecture, allowing him to continue study for two years at the American
Academy.
Wayne met and married his wife, Mary HAWKINS in Rome and they honeymooned in
London before returning to the United States to start their life together, raise
their family and begin his teaching career as Assistant Professor of
Architecture at the School of Design. He taught for two years before accepting a
position teaching in a new School of Architecture at the University of Puerto
Rico. He returned to the School of Design at NCSU in 1968 where he went on to
finish his career.
Teaching was not just Wayne’s career but became one of his true passions –
another act of creativity. His “students” were a huge part of his life, and in
return, he became a part of theirs. He particularly enjoyed building
relationships, trust and encouragement with his students while motivating them
and fostering the art of communicating with their minds and hands. His belief,
lived and led by example, was individual creativity and experimentation, problem
solving, the art and craft of making and the process of design, which is
evidenced by the many paintings, drawings and built work he leaves behind.
Home and family, learning and teaching, drawing and painting, architectural and
graphic design, and building and crafting of projects made for a very full life
– and that’s the way Wayne liked it.
Wayne died surrounded by his loving children who will miss him immensely.
He is predeceased by his wife of 60 years, Mary Hawkins TAYLOR.
He is survived by daughters Anna Maria “Snicks” TAYLOR and husband John
ABPLANALP, Lilla Maria TAYLOR; sons, E. Wayne TAYLOR, JR., and wife Christie;
Walter Hawkins TAYLOR and wife Allison as well as his four grandchildren, Evan
Taylor DEAN; Avery Alexandra DEAN; John Walter “Jack” ABPLANALP and William
Henry TAYLOR. He is also survived by his brother, Benjamin Boswood TAYLOR, and
wife Lianda. Additionally, he is survived by many relatives, nieces and nephews
and their families, and countless friends, colleagues and students who loved him
dearly and cherish his memory.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, June 29th, 2024, at 2:00 PM at
The University Club, 4200 Hillsborough St, Raleigh, NC. A private family
inurnment ceremony will take place later in the year.

William Alexander THORN, III
CHARLOTTE – William Alexander (Bill) THORN, III, died on Saturday, December 9, 2023, in Charlotte, NC, after a long struggle with Parkinson’s disease. He was born in Plainfield, NJ, to William Alexander THORN, JR., and Marie Thompson THORN. Bill was a graduate of Morristown High School in Morristown, Tenn., and North Carolina State University, where he earned a degree in Industrial Engineering. Upon graduation, he served as an officer in the Army National Guard. Bill had a varied career, first as a plant engineer in the furniture industry. Upon the
sudden death of his father-in-law in 1966, he took
over his father-in-law’s contracting business located in Moyock, NC. In the
late 70’s, Bill joined his brother in starting a home respiratory company which
grew and prospered until sold to a national company. Following the sale, Bill
had the opportunity to indulge his love of boating as sales manager for a custom
yacht builder on the Outer Banks. It was a fun few years up and down the coast
at boat shows, fishing tournaments, and photo shoots in the Bahamas, after which
Bill returned to respiratory and surgical sales until his retirement. To
know Bill is to picture him at a piano or keyboard, on stage for a community
theater, singing in a choir or chorale, or leading a children’s choir. He
played in a band in high school, the IFCs in college, and the Bill Thorn Trio
for years to come. His musical talents were a gift he loved to share.
Bill shared his time as well. He was devoted to his faith, family, friends, and
community. He could always be counted on going the extra mile, sometimes
literally. Bill truly lived a balanced life. For most of his adult life, Bill
was a Deacon at Moyock Baptist Church, fulfilling many other roles as well.
After retiring to Blowing Rock in 2012, he was ordained an Elder at Rumple
Memorial Presbyterian church, a church he came to love. He loved the town as
well and enjoyed new friendships in Rotary and the Blowing Rock Yacht Club.
In 2019, Bill and Marion moved to Aldersgate Retirement Community in Charlotte.
It was the right decision due to his advancing Parkinson’s. For the last year
and a half, Bill received great love and care from the staff at Asbury Health &
Rehabilitation Center and VIA Health Partners (formerly Hospice & Palliative
Care-Charlotte Region) and the family greatly appreciates their part in caring
for Bill in his final days. Bill adored his family who knew him as a fun
and sentimental guy. He loved sharing his beach and mountain homes with them
and his friends, old and new, especially his Sig Ep brothers and their wives.
He loved well and was known for his thoughtful gifts and many acts of kindness.
Our loss is Heaven’s gain. Bill is survived by his wife of 59 years,
Marion Welch THORN; his daughters, Winborne MACPHAIL and her husband, Cameron,
Mollie JAMES and her husband, Philip; grandchildren, Ian MACPHAIL and his wife,
Meghan, Marion MACPHAIL, Merrick JAMES, Emma JAMES, Eli JAMES, and great-
granddaughter, Peyton MACPHAIL. Also surviving are his sister, Melinda
MAHAN;
sisters-in-law, Brenda THORN and Mollie RASCOE and her husband, Robert and
several much-loved nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents
and his brother, Walter Thompson THORN. A Memorial Service will be held at
2:00 PM on Thursday, December 21, 2023, at Rumple Memorial Presbyterian Church,
1218 Main Street, Blowing Rock, NC. Arrangements are in the care of

was born on a snowy morning January 9, 1926 to the late Joseph HAYMAN and
Mildred Caroon HAYMAN on Waterlily Island and was the widow of Irby Lee

books being very scarce in 1926 and how her mother was lucky enough to get a
book to read while awaiting the birth of her first child. The story was about a
gypsy named Madge; thus, that’s how she got her name, which she felt was a
curse. She married a Navy man during World War II and thus became the gypsy,
Madge, traveling the world, living in Asia and Europe as well as much of the
United States. She became an expert at breaking down, packing up, moving,
unpacking and setting up a new home for her family with laughter and hard work.
She loved her family fiercely and adored her children, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren. Granny Madge loved to cook, sew, craft and share those
talents.

friendship. A special thank you to Community Care and Hospice for their loving
care and support. Julie, Amy, Channel, Mary and Pastor Davin brought joy to our
mother and our family during a very difficult and emotional time. A private
family celebration of her life will be held at a later date. Twiford Funeral

Dandelion B. TREECRAFT aka WHIPPLE
Dandelion B. TREECRAFT died August 4, 2011
Born: April 30, 1949, Fresno, California,
Dam: Nina Isabel GUARD, a shy, rural North Carolina girl, graduated from the
University of North Carolina at age 18.
Sire: Vernon Willard WHIPPLE, a dangerous-charming Fresno boy who managed to
graduate from Fresno High School.
Christened "Daniel Bryan
WHIPPLE" at his birth, in Fresno, California, Dan
endured 13 mind-numbing years of public schooling in California, Washington, and
Florida before enlisting in the US Coast Guard during the Vietnam
War.
Thereafter, he worked as a carpenter, and a wood tank "cooper" in Fresno. After
divorcing Leta, his wife of six years [formerly, his step-mother for 12 years],
Dan moved to Spokane in June, 1980, and took up, promptly, with a former
babysitter from his grade-school years. This was two weeks after Mt. Saint
Helens' historic off-topping.
A short stint with the Spokane City garbage collection squad was followed by a
similarly-short hitch, 'cold-canvassing' for one of Spokane's leading predatory
roofing and siding contractors. That invaluable vocational experience was
followed by six years employment at an industrial transformer manufacturing
plant - which failed to lead to tenure, as the company moved its facility to
North Carolina to take advantage of a lower-wage environment. In late 1980, Mr.
TREECRAFT joined the Spokane Unitarian Church, whose very active singles group
had a surplus of women 10 to 20 years his senior. This was truly a golden era
for Dan. He eventually graduated from the Unitarian Church in 1997, with a
degree of Critical Thinking. A doldrum period of employment coincided in the
late --80s, and included a brief attempt to enter the medical industry as a
nurse-aide. This proved, after all, not to be a good fit, as Dan felt compelled
to take half of his charges home to provide more adequate personal nurturance,
while the remainder, he felt, should be taken out over-night, and shot.
From 1991 until 2009, having found his calling, Dan employed himself as an
arborist, changed his legal name, and attempted to make an honest living
providing ethical tree care. Anyone who's attempted to make a living - ethically
- can attest that it is no small feat. Mr. TREECRAFTs scorecard, here, looks
fairly good - if graded on a --curve'. He was pleased, though, that many of his
clients also became enduring friends.
In 1991, while pruning an ancient apple tree for a frugal-but-charming South
Hill matron, Dan met his second-wife-to-be. Nearly eight years passed, before
she managed to come to Dan's attention again. Jan and Dan were married on the
Autumnal Equinox, 2001, a pot luck affair which drew a crowd of well under one
thousand. The next nine years passed in what appeared to be sublime,
flawless bliss. Both Treecrafts were generally satisfied to let that appearance
prevail. It was a period of considerable inner growth, especially for Jan. For
Dan, it was a time of great inner testing. The result was, after all, a passably
agreeable relationship for a near-decade. No small feat in this day. In
the Fall of 2008, Dan noticed a mild, chronic sore throat, and some difficulty
swallowing. The symptoms persisted, eventually joined by others, until Dan
finally agreed to see a doctor in February, 2010. Examination and biopsy
revealed a tumor of some advanced development. A course of "no treatment" was
decided upon and followed, until such time as the discomfort and dysfunction of
his illness directed Dan to thoughtfully and humanely end his tenure. Jan stood
by him throughout the eleven-month duration of his winding-down process, walking
all the way - to the very edge - with him.
Some fuss has been made of TREECRAFT's social and political activism. This
aspect of his life has been significantly exaggerated, though it's true he took
pride in his pivotal role - forcing Alberto GONZALES to resign as head of the
United States Justice Department's team of international war criminals. Dan was
also exceedingly proud of being ousted from several dozen Spokane City Council
meetings, by Council President Joe SHOGAN.
Besides his wife, Jan, Mr. TREECRAFT is survived by their dog, Skippy, Cuckoo,
the cat, Jan's adult son, Max, Jan's daughter, Molly, and Molly's 4-year-old
son, Ezra. Dan also leaves a half-brother, Bill WHIPPLE, seven step-siblings [too numerous and far-flung to name - Bobby, Jackie, Eddy, Sally, Nancy, Tommy
and Susan], and an unknown number of nieces and nephews. Dan had no children of
his own [if he did, not one of them ever called or wrote.] Burial will be
at Worley Township Cemetery 10:00 a.m., Saturday, August 6, 2011. A caravan of
grave-digging friends and well-wishers are expected to provide funereal talent,
shovels, sweat, cheer, graveside manners. Eulogizers of quick-witted brevity are
welcome to speak. Long-winded droners may be stoned and used as backfill. Bring
a picnic lunch to share, and something to sit on. Please consider carpooling. It
is hoped this event might inspire and bring together a few good people from
across the county. Those wanting to
make memorial gifts are asked to give generously to the Spokane Center For
Justice. (Spokesman Review - August 5, 2011)
