In Memory of Bill Taylor (Soquili) 1949-2012

How very sad! Bill helped me personally on numerous occasions and generously shared with us all his deep knowledge of Xara programs and computers in a friendly, even handed way. He will be sorely missed but remembered with fondness.

Quite rightly proud of his heritage, he's with his ancestors now. RIP Bill and thank you.

One of my favourite creations by Bill

Bill and I became good friends during our moderator years at TG which grew into an on line friendship where we spent many hours chatting via Gtalk about things in our lives, discussing common interests and had lots of laughs about a great many topics. Together we collaborated on the small Xara utility that Bill named 'XaReg' and which Bill was very heartened to see so many people gain use from.
In recent times he was put under a lot of pressure looking after his ill mother and then his bereaved sister who lost her husband to cancer.

I'll miss Bill a lot, he was part of the Xara landscape, part of my on line life, part of the team of contributors of both forums and for too short a time, a friend.

RIP Bill..

Bill will be truly missed by all, he was one of the first members to welcome me to TG when I first joined and he also helped me on numerous occasions. I remember when I was first starting out with Xara Bill stayed online late one evening to help me with an animation I was working on, it wasn't until I finally got it working right that He said that it was getting late, I looked at the clock and realized that it was after 11:30 here which would have made it nearly 2am in Tennesee. Bill was always there and willing to help anyone who needed it. Bill will be forever in our hearts, God rest his soul.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. My deepest sympathies.

To me Bill was one of the corner stones of TalkGraphics. He was always here for as long as I can remember and always ready to help. Bill you will be missed, and forever in our minds and hearts. Yes I remember Bill and his Bat-mobile avatar. God bless Bill. My deepest sympathy, condolences and prayers to Bill's family.
