Joseph Taylor wrote a sympathy message

“J. D. was an outstanding human being and humanitarian. He embodied the philosophy of—as described in the Judaic tradition—Tikkun Olam—meaning “Heal the World.” Truly a gentle, kind and loving man, he will be missed by many. I am grateful to have known J. D. during my years working for Emory & Henry College (now University) for which he and Dorothy did so much. My sincere sympathies to the Nicewonder Family. — Joseph Taylor, Abingdon, VA”
