It’s pleased to learn that IMC will continue despite the tragic loss of Cory Rudl. This is the email I received from Tracy Rudl:

Dear Bibi,

It is with great sadness I must inform you that my husband, Corey Rudl, passed away in a tragic car-racing accident on Thursday, June 2, 2005.

I know that because of all the media attention Corey’s passing has received, many of you have already heard this terrible news. But I know this will still come as a great shock to many people — and for that I am deeply sorry. There are no words for moments as unexpectedly tragic or heartbreakingly sad as this…

On behalf of Corey’s entire family, as well as Corey’s team at The Internet Marketing Center, I’d like to extend my warmest thanks to those of you who have already sent e-mails and letters or left phone messages expressing your support and condolence.

We’ve all drawn strength from your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time, and we’ll always remember your kindness.

Corey’s passion was helping people.

He loved knowing that he was helping “real people” start and grow Internet businesses. And he was extremely proud of the thousands of success stories he’d helped to create over the years. Nothing made Corey happier than getting letters from clients who had finally “quit their day jobs” to run their Internet businesses full time…

And that’s why, on behalf of my entire family, I would like to personally take this opportunity to assure all Corey’s customers and subscribers that his legacy will continue.

Going forward, the company will be headed up by Derek Gehl, an Internet entrepreneur and marketing expert in his own right who worked side by side with Corey for more than eight years to develop the marketing strategies and software you’ve seen released by The Internet Marketing Center…

Corey had the highest regard for Derek and considered him to be his “right-hand man”… and for the last couple of years, as Corey began to spend more time on the road, away from the office, he’d left Derek to manage his team. So the family backs Derek during this transition 100% — we all have the highest confidence in Derek’s ability to continue Corey’s legacy.

I know this is what Corey wanted.

Derek will provide more information to you about how the company will move forward. (He will be sending an e-mail later this afternoon.) But I just wanted to personally let you know what’s happened.

Corey was an adoring husband… a loving son… a doting brother… a caring friend… and an inspirational leader and mentor.

It’s so hard to say good-bye…

Tracy Rudl

On behalf of The Internet Marketing Center
