In Memory of Bill Taylor (Soquili) 1949-2012

[Egg Bramhill]

What a terrible shock. Bill always stood as a rock within these forums, willing to offer his ever helpful advice to any member old or new. He was always even-handed in his Moderators role despite any hardships he was going through in his private life. I knew Bill over many years and considered him a friend.

I did a search and found his first post. It happens to be very seasonal, being posted on the 6th December 2000. It was an animated candle, which is very apt. So I'll repost Bills first Xara effort in his memory.

Bill will be missed by all who knew him or even acquainted with him. He was a very kind soul.
My deepest sympathy to his family and friends.

I'm grateful for Bob's help and patience over the years. Top bloke, as we say over here.

Haven't been around in a while..... and... I'm so, so sorry to see this thread.

My sincere condolences to Bill's family. He, and the family are in my thoughts and prayers tonight.

I will miss his great contributions to this forum....

I'm late to this thread. Bill always seemed to be here - for everybody; and now he is not.
A great loss of warmth and experience. What tragic end to an all too short life.

I am so so sorry to read about this...Bill was one of the first people who helped me when I first posted here about my struggles with Xara. He seemed like a very kind man. God be with him, and his family.

Sad news his input will be missed by many..his Youtube tutorials have been a real help to me. Sleep well and thank you.

RIP, will be sadly missed.

Bill was a true gentleman, and I had as much time for him as he did for us. And that is a lot!
His username Soquili - "burden bearer" in Cherokee - is vert apt for the amount of help and assistance he gave out. He will be missed.

My thoughts are with his family.
