Richard William Taylor, 20/07/71 to 20/06/12
Some of you on here will be aware that Richard Taylor (rickt500)
has been fighting Leukemia for some time.
I have just returned from the Hospital & Rick's house.
Richard lost his fight with the infections at around 08.30 this morning.
Joanne (his wife) was at his side when he finally slipped away,
his mother and sister were close to hand at well.
Richard always knew from the day he was diagnoised with Leukemia that it would probably
be the associated infections that would cause him the most problems as time went on.
This was his third major stint in hospital and we all thought he might just win this round on points...
He was a good friend, a dedicated family man and let's not forget a Petrol Head of the best kind.
He will be sorely missed not just by family and friends but by many car people
that he never met in person but tried to advise on this forum and others.
It is too soon to say as yet what plans are being made for the funeral, when I know more
details I will post as to place and time and where tributes can be sent.

That is terrible news. Please accept my condolences. I too recently lost a very good friend and I can only try to understand how you and Rick's family must be feeling at this horrible time. It is small consolation I know but at least he is at peace.

This is dreadful news, please accept my deepest sympathies. Perhaps Richard or one of the admins could make this Global or Sticky so that all members see it more quickly?
2.5 years we lost a member very suddenly on Macd, Michael was 35 and a father of a young lad. Sometimes you don't feel like you can express grief or sadness because you were 'only' an online friend, this is rubbish. The family love to know about people that influenced a persons life and shared their hobbies and interests. When the time feels right the family may even come on here themselves.

Dreadful, dreadful news. Please pass on my condolences to his family, friends and of course yourself, Pete. 40 years of age is way too young.

Re: Richard William Taylor, 20/07/71 to 20/06/12
I'm very shocked and sorry to hear of Richards passing. I'm afraid I wasnt aware he was fighting leukemia, let alone suffering from it. He seemed to be in rude health tackling some major jobs from what I can remember. I never met the guy but he did say some nice things about my cars in the past. He was a fountain of knowledge and didnt seem to be afraid of taking on some huge projects.
Please let me pass on my thoughts and condolences to his family and friends
RIP fella.

I think that we should organise a donation to a cancer research/leukaemia charity in Richard's memory. It's probably better than flowers etc.

Good idea Richard,I think that we should organise a donation to a cancer research/leukaemia charity in Richard's memory. It's probably better than flowers etc.
Maybe Pete, can ask the family what they would prefer?. or the forum could start one of those "just giving " pages?

Like others have said more eloquently before me, that's very sad to hear. My thoughts are with all who knew him.
