I was just thinking the other day about how I hadn't seen Marcol for a while...
He's one of the people I remember most fondly from when I first started on this forum a year ago. Really nice guy, great, creative ideas in Excel. And who could forget that avatar!
R.I.P.
R. I. P. Marcol...thanks for the info DDL...I've always wondered how the Forum could/can be kept abreast of such events...

Even though I'd had contact with him just the one time, his name stuck in my mind. He said "Nice to see someone prepared to try themself." to me after the problem was sorted. I wasn't thinking about it from that point of view at the time, as I had only just started experimenting with spreadsheets. But it encouraged me to carry on & learn & I thank him for that.
R.I.P
Thank you DDL for sharing that with us.
There are I'm sure many here who remember Marcol with fondness and it's so sad to hear this. Made sadder in a way since it's only just filtered through.

I was saddened to read this news and also wish to pass my condolences on to his family.
Marcol's not only gave me suggestions on how to resolve issues but he also took the time to explain to me how his suggestions worked and his reasoning behind them which was of great use to me.
I will always consider Marcol to be one of the forum members who directly contributed to my progression in understanding how to use Excel and so I will always be appreciative of the help he has given me.
Rest in peace.
If my solution worked (or not) please let me know. If your question is answered then please remember to mark it solved

Don't know how to express the sadness in words
Because he is the man one who comes up with different types of solutions/methods which takes some time for me to understand the concept by reading the formula two or thrice
Like many mentioned in this thread, myself too wondered where is Marcol? Whenever I go through the memberlist, my mouse cursor stops on his identity and think about his minblowing solutions...
Missing a lot.... R. I. P.

Done, the RIP censor has been removed.

This is very sad news.
RIP Marcol.
It is very Sad News Indeed!
Perhaps the admin knows his personal details (like Home address). It would be a good idea to send his family some kind of tribute card, for his time and service to the forum.
R.I.P Marcol
Why would admin know his private address? I don't remember submitting my address when I joined?Originally Posted by AB33
Hi Dave,
They do in my case.
Actually we do not have Marcol's address. So far, we have asked all the top posters for each month to give us their address and Marcol didnt feature in any of the months from June to September.
That is supprising AB.
Anyway, gotta love Marcol,
Maybe I should browse the Water Cooler more often, as I've only just seen this thread. Very sad news indeed. I have greatly enjoyed reading Marcol's contributions and had wondered why I hadn't seen any recently.
R.I.P Marcol
Very very sad news indeed.

Hi there, i am so sorry i did not see your message until now, facebook stored it in a different message box as we are not friends on facebook.
I am indeed Alistair Marcol's son and have read the forum posts with all of the kind words people have said about him. I was not aware he was so involved with the community, though i knew of his activity. Seeing people hold him in such high regards was a lovely thing to see. I thank you for your condolences and wish everyone all the best.
If you would like me to make a forum account to add to the thread i am more than willing, if not, feel free to copy this message onto the post in my name.
If you have any questions about my father feel free to message me here in future.
FYI, Marcol has been given a "forever" Guru status and his title adjusted accordingly. Regardless of any future changes to Guru rules or enforcements, he will retain his title forever. (hat-tip)

May he rest in peace.

I received an Email for voting for the excel forum's contributors who helped me better than others.
I am not using excel forums since long, so I searched for my old posts to know that who has helped me to solve excel issues.
There I found the name of "Marcol" and then went to the voting page to vote him but his name was not there....
Then searching the fourm, I came to know that Marcol has passed away. (Rest in Peach Marcol)
I am really sad to know about his death.
