Dear Harriett,
Heath was one of the sweetest men I ever met--always a ready smile--always warm and welcoming. It is difficult to begin to imagine the depth and breath of your loss. May writing, good works, friends and family fill your days and the wealth of memories of times spent with Heath fill your heart. Much love and deepest sympathy, Your dear friend, Robin (Roberta M.

Dear Riggs Family:
I was a Professor in the Mathematics Department at UVM from 1979-1984. I remember Heath as a kind, intelligent and caring man and teacher. Always with a smile and optimistic and always thinking about the best for his students and colleagues. It was an honor to have known him. He touched my life.
Sincerely,
