Through the 1980s Rae worked in music education and authored several instruction books. He was also a disc jockey in San Francisco for many years. From 1982 until his passing, Rae led a tribute band called "Radcliffe" in honor of his former bandleader, Cal Tjader. Musicians in the combo included Mark Levine, Robb Fisher, Vince Lateano, Willie Colon, Al Zulaica, Poncho Sanchez, and Dick Mitchell.
John was married to Mary Carroll, a San Francisco technical recruiter and author, for three years. He died on September 4, 1993, at the age of 59.[1]
