Sad day...

Hey Leo,

Dale was a great guy....last time I saw him he had joined us at the Code meeting in Victoria.

I'm in shock...the man gave and gave...way to young to move on.

Will be praying for his family.

We were saddened to learn of the sudden passing of CHC member, hydronics colleague and friend Dale Riggs of Modale Industries, British Columbia. Dale was a well-respected member of the National Hydronic Design Standard Committee/CSA B214 Technical Sub-Commttee and the Canadian Hydronics Council.

According to the Residential Hot Water Heating Association of B.C., Dale died peacefully in his sleep Saturday morning, September 18, 2004.

Following is his obituary written by his daughters.

Dale Earl Riggs

Dale was born and raised in the Dunbar area of Vancouver, BC by Earl and Wilma Riggs.

A loving husband, proud father (because we were great kids - have you met us :-)), devoted grandfather, honest businessman, and generous friend.

He is survived by his faithful dog Lady, dedicated wife Virginia (Ginny), his awesome girls Colette (Jim) and Coleen (Dave). His delightful grandchildren James 20, Nicole 16, Bryan 15, Kaylin 12, Jeremy 10. His active 91 year old mother-in-law Nessie and all of his siblings Joy (his twin), Bob (Diane), Rocke (Lorelee).

Generous, funny (not in looks), happy, helpful, honest, trustworthy, giving, hard working, honourable, mischievious, if you knew Dale you know what I am saying.
