IT’S A SAD FAREWELL TO COLIN HILL
By Graeme Hague
20 August 2013
Very sadly, Colin Hill, who many people will know from his time at Rode Microphones, has passed away after losing his battle with the lung cancer he was diagnosed with last year. A popular and well-known figure in the audio industry, Colin Hill spent more than 22 years as International Sales Manager at Rode and was instrumental in establishing the company’s presence in almost every major international market. Colin’s trademark bass voice and iconic Akubra hat were instantly recognisable at the NAMM and Music Messe shows and his presence will be sorely missed by friends and colleagues around the world. Colin was, of course, a close friend of Peter Freedman – a friendship that lasted over 30 years. Peter will be advising everyone of funeral arrangements as soon as they are available. In the meantime, if you’d like to send condolences or flowers to Colin’s wife Lesley and the family contact Rode on (02) 9648 5855 and someone will give you the best address details.
