RIP Bill. You will be missed.
OBITUARY
Bill Guerin,
ATol loyalist
Asia Times Online mourns Bill Guerin, who passed away this weekend in Jakarta. Bill, a correspondent for ATol since its early days in 2000, had lived in Indonesia for 20 years and specialized in Indonesian political, business and economic analysis. He was an easy-going gentleman, though he liked to call himself a "dour old Scot".
Bill spoke fluent Bahasa Indonesia, and hosted a television political talk show, Face to Face, broadcast on two Indonesia-based satellite channels. He was also an accredited journalist to correspondent.com and his editorials on global issues were distributed by GlobalVision News. His dedication to Asia Times Online, though, never wavered over the years and he could always be relied on to produce copy on time, invariably accompanied with a cheery note.
Bill previously was chief editor of Indovision TV Magazine, executive contributing editor for SWARA Indonesian Parliamentary News in English, and executive editor of the SWARA Forum bulletin, as well as chief editor of the now defunct Indonesian Observer On Line.
