In Memoriam: Brad M. Rembielak Brad M. Rembielak, age 46, was born February 9, 1972, passed away February 2, 2019 in Cleveland, Ohio. He was a partner in Stage Research, Inc. Business partner in Stage Research, Carlton Guc, wrote: "My partner in Stage Research and dear friend, Brad, has endured a lifelong battle with cancer. In remission for most of his life, the last couple years it has fought back with a vengeance. And it has completed its mission. "Brad's intelligence, wit, friendship, and tenacity to do the impossible has had a profound effect on me. From first meeting him as a teenager, working together in technical theatre (lights and sound), to rock climbing, hiring his programming talent in various companies, to finally creating our own company together (going on 20+ years), he is a once in a lifetime partner. He has changed my life for the better and likely did the same for many others, especially in the theatrical world. "Brad was the one who had most of the best ideas for a small program called SFX which revolutionized audio playback/show control using a Windows PC in the early '90s and still used today. A program I know he is incredibly proud of. Plus, numerous other industry changing applications along the way. "I'm reaching out to our friends and family in the theatre world on Brad's behalf. Brad would have been perfectly fine saying goodbye in a quiet way. That's just who his is. But he's not just leaving the theatre community, he's saying goodbye to his young daughter who is a bit too young to comprehend all Brad has done. "If you have a story to share, please consider sending an email to brad@stageresearch.com as it will remain active to relay messages to his family. "Thank you for those who have reached out already! Brad's family is overwhelmed with the outpouring of your remembrances. "If this is new news to you, please share. If you have any questions, please contact me carlton@stageresearch.com. "Finally, I did setup a GoFundMe that will cover final expenses and go into an account for Stella [Brad Rembielak's daughter]. "I truly miss my friend and business partner."
