Death of Mark Ray

[Bobbsy]

I'm sure quite a number of Blue Room members have known Mark Ray at Cadac for many years, so I'm sorry to have to say I've just had a copy of this email from the company:

 

To all who may not yet have heard;

 

With great sadness, Cadac Holdings Ltd today announced the sudden and

tragic death, at the age of 49, of Mark Ray. Mark died of a heart

attack in the early hours of Monday 9th November 2009, whilst visiting

New York.

 

Mark fronted Cadac's sales and marketing activity around the world for

9 years, joining Cadac in November 2000.

 

Cadac's Bob Thomas said: "We are all devastated, losing a good friend

as well as a colleague. Mark gave every element of his life 100%, as a

passionate advocate for Cadac, as a gifted musician and as an active

contributor to the pro-audio industry. Our heartfelt condolences go out

to Mark's family and friends. All of us at Cadac will miss him

enormously."

 

After serving in the Army, Mark's career had included spells at FCN,

Gibson USA, Adam Hall and 3G prior to joining Cadac.

 

Mark is survived by the daughters of his first marriage, Nicola and

Louise.
