From our Chapter President, Chuck Biggs:
We are sad to publish that our chapter member, friend, and colleague Walter Law passed away yesterday, December 10, 2019 after a long battle with cancer. Walter was a loving and dedicated husband, father and grandfather and was an active member of his church. He was also a well-respected engineer in our community and worked on many prestigious projects in the Knoxville area.
Walters’ service and dedication to ASHRAE was evidenced by his long list of leadership roles in the local chapter, the region and nationally. At the most recent summer ASHRAE national meeting, Walter was awarded the Distinguished Service Award. This is a national award that recognizes ASHRAE members who have served the Society faithfully and with distinction on committees or have otherwise given freely of their time and talent on behalf of the Society. Walter did all of those things and truly loved ASHRAE.
Walter was passionate about his work and it was a pleasure to get to work with him on many projects. Some of my favorite memories of Walter involve ASHRAE as we had many good times and discussions at the ASHRAE annual meetings and CRC’s. I will be forever thankful for having known Walter and will deeply miss him. Below is a link to his obituary. There is a memorial service planned for Thursday night, December 12, 2019 at 6:00 PM at Cokesbury United Methodist Church, 9908 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, TN 37922.
