David Brigham passed away

It is with great sadness that I bear the news that our ExScite friend David Brigham passed away in his sleep on the morning of Sunday Dec. 16 .

A Funeral Service was held on Friday 12/21 in West Chelmsford MA Cemetery.
David worked for many years in Scitex, Creo and Kodak in various sales positions and prior to that at Agfa.  He was known for his big smile, his dedication and great love of the printing industry. His gruff exterior hid a warm and caring personality and a big heart.

Our sincerest condolences to his wife, children and family.

He will be missed by us all.

The ExScite Shinichi Sugiyama who has just became a (third time) grandfather has sent us this photo from Tokyo:
“… last Friday, October 26th, ,2007 I joined the small welcome party for Victor and Jacob in Tokyo with some ex Scitex members.

In the picture sitting from the left are Hidaki-san (Toyo Ink, General Manager AI Division – Sales of HPIndigo), Victor Wrobel (XMPie, VP operations), Jacob Gur-Arie (XMPie, Customer Support manager), Sugiyama (GAIN Ltd. and Press-sense Japan representative), Rami Liron (Consultant), Tojo-san (Agfa Japan VP Sales) and Iwabuchi-san (GA-city of Toyo Ink, System Integration Manger).

It was a wonderful dinner in typical Japanese style restaurant and bar and talked about “Scitex”, current business of each other and families.”

Schnitzel

The ExScite David Litvak has found this old (1991) Scitex video on YouTube. Later, Sue Hewitt has added these remarks:

“Check this out – a blast from the past from 1991 Scitex. Amazing what finds its way onto Youtube nowadays.  I remember filming the scenes around Brussels – fortunately mine where I was standing in front of the EU building was not included in the final version.  It would have been too embarrassing??. Still remember it well though as if it was only a couple of years ago. We should do something similar for Kodak EAMER end of year Europe. Great souvenir in years to come. Each era is special in its own way”.
