For those of you who've attended some of the last few shows we've done at the Half Penny Pub, you might remember a strange little fellow and local radio personality that became a fan of the Nightmare.
Unfortunately, "Banana Man", as he introduced himself to us, is no longer with us - a victim of his own demons. He was a really fun guy to hang out with and a warm soul. For those of you who met him at our shows or heard him on the radio, I'm reprinting his obituary below.
Dwight D. Taylor (aka Banana Man)
November 5, 2005 Dwight D. Taylor, 48, of East Syracuse, went home Saturday to be with the Lord. Born in Rochester, he had lived in East Syracuse for 37 years. He was the Banana Man on K-Rock and 95X radio stations. He was an auto body technician for many years. He was predeceased by his father, Herbert, and a sister, Linda. Surviving are his wife of 32 years, the former Donna Bentley; two daughters, Crystal Marie Taylor of Rochester and Tasha Taylor of East Syracuse; granddaughter, Savannah Rose; mother, Grace Taylor; three sisters: Georgette Patterson, Maria Elena Benn and Marie Taylor; three stepsisters: Joanne Dine, Christine Landry and Lorrie Landry; a stepbrother, Ed Landry; several nieces, nephews and cousins. Services: 9 a.m. Wednesday at St. Matthew's Church, East Syracuse. No calling hours. Delaney-Greabell-Adydan Funeral Home has charge of the arrangements.
