Tributes

Sincere sympathies to the Taylor family. I will always have fond memories of Bill as we worked together for many years in domestic and international telecoms issues, he was dedicated and you could count on him to do his best, and many times we did not share the same positions or views. He will be missed, we lost a good man, and a strong supporter of the Canadian Telecom industry.

To Bill's beloved family members and close friends, I had the priviledge to work with Bill during my career with ITU and left in my memory good souvenirs of a gentle man and capable professional, rare human qualities which in Bill excelled. Please accept my sincere condolences.

My deepest sympathy to the family.I knew Bill mainly through work on international studies of spectrum which included trips to Geneva. He always had a smile on his face and took on adversarial positions calmly and very often won his point. Bill was very friendly and full of fun.

Bill is a person I knew in Bell dedicated to preserving the radio spectrum. We were foes and fiends. In 1992 I had to argue against him in Spain at world Radio conference although we both worked for same company. But we remained friends. When Bell canada ana Bell Mobility combined in 2001 he reported to me. He was true believer of ITU. His dedication was beyond any words. Good bye my friend.

To Bill and Louise family, Louise and I want to offer our deepest condolences. I have known Bill since the 80’s and I consider myself privileged to have benefited from his competence and friendship for all these years. I will miss a good friend and an invaluable contributor to radio regulation. I will remember him forever. He will also be missed by many other who have crossed his path throughout the world.

Bill was one of the finest individuals I have ever met. We worked together at the Radio Advisory Board over the last several years and I was continually inspired by his knowledge and expertise in the field of radiocommunications. I particularly welcomed his solid yet gentle counsel on the files we worked on. Throughout the industry, Bill was respected for his quiet and professional approach to dealing with issues. His passing is a major loss for our community and we will miss him dearly. To Louise and the family, we offer our heartfelt condolences.

I was greatly saddened to get notice of Bill's death. I worked with Bill over many years on spectrum matters and always found him unfailingly professional, decent, patient and helpful. This was so even when we were professional adversaries and I first encountered Bill at the RABC when he still worked at Bell Canada. I learned a lot from Bill over the years and will always remember him as a man of principle who was a fine example for others in our shared field. May he rest in peace and may his memory be a blessing always to his family and friends.
