The Honourable Dr. Garth Alfred Taylor, O.J., Ph.D (April 29, 1944 – November 19, 2005) was a Jamaican ophthalmologist, professor, and humanitarian. Born in Montego Bay, Taylor was a Queen's Scout in his youth.[1] He received his education at Cornwall College in Jamaica and Queen's University in Ontario.[1] He later became an associate professor of ophthalmology at the latter institution,[1] as well as chief of ophthalmology at Cornwall Community Hospital in Canada.[1] Taylor was also the vice-president of ORBIS Canada,[1] a charity devoted to preventing and correcting avoidable cases of blindness in the developing world, and the co-founder of Canadian Surgical Eye Expeditions (CANSEE),[2] another charitable organization devoted to the same purpose. Working out of a McDonnell Douglas DC-10 airplane converted into a mobile field hospital,[1] he performed more than 1,000 charitable eye operations in more than 60 different countries,[1] during more than 100 separate surgical missions.[3] Taylor also provided on-site training for local doctors in cornea, cataract and refractive procedures.[1] For his efforts, he was honored with the Order of Jamaica in 2005.[4] Taylor and his wife Beverly had two children: a daughter, Leanne, and a son, Gregory.[1] He died unexpectedly on November 19, 2005, as the result of an aortic aneurysm.[5] External links
