I was fortunate enough to work as Dr. Marshall Leach's Audio Lab assistant during a couple years of my undergrad time (1988,-1989).
I was in California when he passed, and did not know until after the memorial, otherwise I would have gone. In this video, there are some really great things said about a tremendously great person, which I know first hand to be true.
If you knew him, you know what I mean.

Hello GT, I graduated in spring 2015 and followed the audio engineering class. Now Leach's textbook is truly the bible in the audio electronics company I work in. Every engineer there has read it. May he rest in peace, I know the flame is carried on by great ECE teachers, I could feel it when I was there. Keep it up !

I randomly found this video and it brings great sorrow to my heart, but also many great memories. Dr. Leach was easily the BEST professor I encountered in my entire post secondary career in the 80's. I learned more about loudspeaker design, acoustics and audio in general, from this innovative, caring and passionate man, than any other single source. This is a great loss for Tech and The Audio Engineering Community. My deepest condolences to his family and his ECE colleagues. His contributions will remain forever, but he will be sadly missed.
