Bill Taylor, a longtime reporter and anchor for TMJ4 and the creator of the popular series Positively Milwaukee, passed away at age 79 with family by his side.

Taylor worked for TMJ4 for nearly three decades. One of the colleagues who traveled with Bill to tell those stories was longtime TMJ4 photojournalist Clayborn Benson.

Benson, executive director & founder of the Wisconsin Black Historical Society, joined Milwaukee Tonight to remember his longtime colleague and friend.

"I feel the pain every day," Benson said. "I didn't realize it would hurt so much, but it does hurt."

Benson and Taylor were also neighbors, living just around the corner from each other.

"He was a very positive person. He believed in working hard and doing positive kinds of stories. That's why he was able to come up with this slogan Positive Milwaukee," Benson recalled. "He wanted to generate real love. He wanted every little story to be told as he's able to make a story out of nothing."
