:( I am deeply saddened to share with you all the news that my friend Ike Brigham has passed away. He has been fighting lung cancer for several years. I can't tell you how much I adored Ike for taking the time to listen to his customers and give them the best possible products and services that he could. He had a wonderful dry sense of humor and I always enjoyed chatting with him, no matter what we talked about. He will be truly missed, and the world of underwater photography will never be the same without him. Godspeed Ike.

In the past few months Ike was working from home when he felt up to it, but his daughter Jean has been running the company. For those of you who worry about the fate of Ikelite, please do not. The company is in Jean's very capable hands and has been for months.

We'll miss you Ike.

This is, indeed, tragic news. I first coveted an Ikelite housing after seeing a picture in Joe Strykowski's 1974 book, Divers & Cameras, and I've been an Ike fan ever since. Damn. -Clay

It is indeed sad news, but he struggled and likely sufferered during his battle with cancer. At least now, he's at peace.
