In 2005, McMillin dropped his bags and began work in EAW’s UK sales office, and later joined the company’s application support group as EMEA rep. In this role, he developed sound systems for a variety of venues, many of which were familiar to him from his touring days.

Moray is survived by his wife, Antonella, and two sons. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be sent to The Hospice of Saint Francis, Spring Garden Lane, Berkhamsted, Herts, HP4 3GW.
