Friends, students and colleagues from all over Auckland paid their respects at the funeral of Sunnyhills Primary School principal Jim Taylor on Friday. Mr Taylor died on August 29 after a long illness. Mourners paid tribute to the wellknown figure who has been principal at the school since 1999. Mr Taylor stepped down this year due to illness, and his passing has saddened many who remember him for his caring nature and good ''old-fashioned'' values. Farm Cove Intermediate School principal Madeleine East called him gentle and courteous, who not only strived to do his best at all times, but who imparted such qualities to his students.
