Today (December 21, 2009) , Marketing Systems Group must share the sad news that Dale Kulp, the company’s Founder and CEO, has passed away. Dale’s illness, which was diagnosed several weeks ago, took a quick and unexpected turn over the weekend. And in the early hours of Monday morning, our friend and remarkable colleague found peace.

Since 1987, when Dale launched this enterprise, his goal was to form an organization that not only stood for, but consistently delivered excellent services and support to those involved in the social science and market research arenas.

Creativity and insight were Dale’s hallmark.The greatest tribute to Dale’s memory is the depth and breadth of talent and ability that he recruited and cultivated at MSG over the past 22 years.We are fortunate that all the unique talent and skills for which he is known still remain and will continue to flourish at MSG.

This company, to which Dale devoted so many hours, weeks and years of his life, is not just his legacy, but a living tribute to his memory.We will honor that legacy and build that tribute by continuing our work with the creativity, insights and personal commitment that Dale inspired throughout Marketing Systems Group.

All donations in lieu of flowers should be made to the Lust Garten, a foundation that utilizes 100% of all donations for pancreatic cancer research.
