Morty Taylor, a former Waterloo city councillor and founder of Morty’s Pub, has died at the age of 86.
“As we mourn Morty's passing, we are comforted knowing the genuine friendships he made throughout his life and the depth of love he received,” Taylor said in the post.
Morty was a Waterloo resident for 60 years and in 1981 he founded Morty’s Pub at King and University.
Taylor said his father was known for his humility, quick sense of humour, loyalty to his friends and his fearlessness in expressing his opinions as he served as a city councillor in Ward 4 from 1991 to 2000 and 2000 to 2003.
He also served on the boards of various local organizations from the K-W Symphony to the Waterloo Student Housing Task Force.
His family said they take comfort in knowing the genuine friendships he made throughout his life and the depth of love he received.
A celebration of life will be held for his friends and family on an unspecified date
