One of the greatest heating tech' has passed away

ScottMP

My Friend and employee Chris Aiello (JCA) has passed.



I have known Chris since school and he has worked for me for a long time. I learned so much from him. His great knowledge of all things heat will not be replaced easily.



He loved this industry and will be missed Greatly by all who knew him.

I am so sorry to hear this. He will be greatly missed, I had some wonderful times with him both in the classroom, on the job and socially. My deepest condolences to the Milne folks and all the family and friends of Chris.

The loss is huge

Chris was an incredible guy. He and Nancy came to our place in VT many times. What a decent human being. Hell, he was only 51. A kid for god sake.



Jaye and I will miss him immensely.

To the Milne and Aiello family. JCA was one bright candle out in the deep dark woods of life. He will be greatly missed, and passed way too young.

Thank You All

Its nice to hear such kind words but I expected nothing less. Chris had a heart of gold and was always willing to help. He took such pride in what he did and took it to heart if he couldn't find the answer to something.

I am at a loss for more words to say.

I hope his "crossing the bar" was a smooth one. A real loss to the industry and the community. RIP, JCA.

Yikes- Chris was only 51

younger than me.



A poster on one of the other sites said he had a heart attack, and no one was with him at the time. So far, that's all we know.

I met Chris here on the wall and oil tech talk way back in the early days. Through e-mails and wetstocks and trade shows he became a good friend. I always looked forward to the pictures from the amazing installs at Milne plumbing. I felt a real sense of loss this morning when I saw this. He was real smart and a good person.

am saddened by this news. I had the pleasure of meeting Chris at BNL a number of years ago. He was a gentleman and I had the pleasure of continuing my relationship with him through these wonderful forums. Sail on Chris.............

It has been far too long since I saw Chris. The last time was probably at Ruth's house, and I haven't been there for a number of years. A great guy with a great sense of humor. A loss for all of us and the industry.

A truly great Wethead.



Rest well Chris.

Dumbstruck again.........

Tom Schwarz and Chris in such a short span. They have become our beloved "Deadmen," but way younger than anyone thought . Not only was Chris a great heating guy, but a ton of fun to hang with...super knowledgeable on Rock and Roll and NEVER afraid to speak his mind. Gonna miss this boy. So sorry for the loss of your buddy, Scott. Mad Dog

Chris passing

chris was a speaker of truth. If something wasn't right, he said so. On the other hand, if he dealt a compliment you knew you should be honored. a good man. gone too soon.
