From the article: http://mobileelectro...le_paul_graham/

With deep regret, Mobile Electronics Australia was informed early this morning that industry veteran Paul Graham passed away last night due to an ongoing medical condition.

Paul Graham was a much respected member of the Australian car audio industry, and considered a pioneer by many of his peers and colleagues. Paul spent more than fourteen years working with Alpine Electronics, and in the years since has been involved in journalism and a number of other industry related projects through his company 'Acoustic Garage'.

We're saddened by the loss of one of the greats of our industry, and extend our sincere condolences to Paul's wife, family and friends.

MEA has already heard from a few members of the industry who would like to share their own personal experiences with Paul, and we will publish a tribute to Paul's life in the coming days.

May you Rest in Peace Paul.

Very sad to hear - I didn't know Paul well personally, but from the conversations I did have with him he always came across as a genuine, fair and loyal person.

May you rest in peace Paul.

What a great bloke who had a great life, I was grateful to know him for the short time I did. He taught me so much and was considered a friend, always would listen to my stupid ideas, and always pointed me in the right direction. Will be dearly missed. Rest in Peace Paul.

I am so saddened to hear this. I met Paul when I first became a professional in our industry, many years ago. I worked at Central Car Radio in Moorabbin, which was the premier Alpine retailer at the time, and so I was fortunate enough to get to know Paul quite well, over the years, and I also learnt so much from him during that time. He was an amazing guy who I respected immensely. Paul literally pioneered the industry in Australia, His passion, knowledge and influence, knew no bounds, and I feel honoured to have known him.
RIP Paul

My heart just dropped when i read this. I worked for Paul back in the Precision Installation days and to its Precision Car Audio Engineering makeover.
Paul took me under his wing and taught me all things acoustics and system design, his knowledge simply astounded me.
Those who knew Paul would agree that he had and undying passion for this industry, had relentless pursuit to always set the bar up high in quality installation and a big influence to this industry not only in Australia.
Now that im an acoustics consultant, I owe my knowledge to him.
RIP Paul, you'll never be forgotten.
