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,
