Rod Sutliff, founder and chief executive officer for RS Technical Services, passed away in August while taking his daily walk around the RST campus. The 80-year-old Sutliff, who had a recent history of heart problems, was a guiding force in the closed-circuit TV inspection industry. He helped pioneer the mainline pan-and-tilt camera and the single-conductor panomorphic camera system. A resident of Petaluma, Calif., Sutliff is survived by his wife of 60 years, Kathleen, and their children Thomas Sutliff, Michael Sutliff, Patricia McCarten, Paul Sutliff, Mark Sutliff, James Sutliff and Kathleen Colsen.
