Earlier today we received an email from Andreas Hoeke from Neel Lighting & Controls. Her statement is below.
It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of Ann Kale of Ann Kale Associates, Ltd.. She passed away surrounded by her family on Sunday, August 11, 2024.
Located in Montecito, her firm was involved in many lighting projects in the area but she was also a respected specifier for projects all over North America. As a Lutron Representative, we had the pleasure of working with Ann and her staff on many local projects and a few out of state. Ann was professional and courteous, and knew her craft well. She will be missed.
She leaves behind her husband of 30+ years, daughter Julia, and extended family.
Ann was a force of nature and the specification community has lost a giant.
