We are very sorry to note that Zalik Ziv-Ron passed away. Zalik Ziv-Ron was an application engineer at Scitex. He joined Scitex in 1982 and after a year of training in Israel he was relocated to NYC to install and train Scitex customers. After few years he left Scitex and became a system manager to one of the local customers in NY. We continued to see Zalik in SGAUA as a customer.
Shmulik Raz passed away in Israel on January 28th 2016
שמוליק רז נפטר ביום חמישי 28 לינואר 2016
שמואל רז, או כפי שנקרא בפי חבריו “שמוליק” החל את עבודתו בסאיטקס באמצע שנות השבעים.
בסוף שנת 1979 עבר עם משפחתו לבריסל, שהיתה בזמנו מרכז השירות של סאיטקס באירופה.
במהלך שירותו שם, נפצע קשה מאוד בתאונת דרכים בעת שהיה בדרכו הביתה לאחר שבוע העבודה.
הוא אושפז כ 3 חודשים בשוודיה ובבלגיה כאשר כחודשיים מהם, היה מחוסר הכרה. לאחר תהליך השיקום, החל אט אט לשוב לעבודתו כמנהל השירות בבריסל.
ב 1984 חזר עם משפחתו לארץ והמשיך את עבודתו בסאיטקס על כל תהפוכותיה עד לשנת 2006 , שנה שבה פרש מהעבודה.
באותה שנה נתגלתה אצלו מחלת הסרטן ומאז התמודד ונאבק בה עד ליום מותו.
שמוליק היה אהוב על חבריו והיה ידוע בטוב ליבו, איש משפחה אמיתי.
השאיר אחריו אישה, שתי בנות וארבעה נכדים שהיו משוש חייו.
יהי זכרו ברוך!

Shmulik Raz passed away in Israel on January 28th 2016
Shmuel Raz, or as he was known by his colleagues as “Shmulik”, began
working for Scitex in the mid seventies.
Towards the end of 1979, he relocated to Brussels, Belgium with his
family. At that time Brussels was the Scitex European service center.
While he was staying there, he went through a devastating car
accident, which resulted in hospitalization for three months in Sweden
and Belgium. Two months out of these he spent unconscious.
After his rehabilitation process, he returned to work as the service
manager in Brussels.
In 1984 he returned with his family to Israel and continued working in
Scitex throughout all its takeovers. He retired in 2006, and was
immediately diagnosed with cancer. He coped and fought his disease
ever since till the day he passed away.
Shmulik was always loved by his friends and colleagues and was known
for his kind and generous heart. He was a true, honest family man, a
real mensch and left behind a wife, two daughters and four
grandchildren, who were the apple of his eyes.
May he rest in peace !
