By BILLY COX | Sarasota Herald-Tribune | Published: April 16, 2021 SARASOTA The three-day, six-state funeral procession of an unclaimed World War II/Korean War veteran for a reunion with his mother commenced at dawn Friday, escorted by Tampa s Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association and the Florida Highway Patrol. A hearse carrying the body of Wallace Anderson Taylor is bound for the Arch L. Heady Resthaven Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky, where he will be buried with full military honors at 2:30 p.m. Sunday. Unmarried, and leaving behind no surviving relatives, Taylor of Zephyrhills died at 96 in February and faced the unceremonious prospects of being interred with little formal recognition. But one of his closest friends, Rob Lynch, a Veterans Experience Officer at Tampa s James A. Haley Veterans Hospital, alerted the nonprofit Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association to Taylor s status.
