I’m so happy we all got to see you and catch up with you this past April. All of us graduated and moved on with our lives, but you were and are, always in our thoughts. You were a big part of so many of our lives. We all love you Tabe, and will miss you. RIP Mr. Taber.

I was very sad to hear the news that Mr.Taber had passed on! What a wonderful impact he had on the thousands of kids he taught over the length of his career. I had the privilege of being taught by him for 8 wonderful years! I am so happy that I got to see him again at the band reunion earlier this year. He made such a powerful and positive impact on my life. Prayers that God will comfort his wife, Mary, and his family as they adjust to life without his smiling face and quick wit. ❤️
