Tony Duggleby, 1955-2008

COMMENT: Tony Duggleby's impact on energy matters on the coast was impressive; there were times in which his influence was evident wherever people were talking about wind, transmission, small hydro, and most recently, tidal energy.

Anthony Oliver Duggleby June 11, 1955 - October 15, 2008

Anthony "Tony" Duggleby died Wednesday, October 15, 2008, in Vancouver of complications from pneumonia. A brilliant and generous spirit, Tony was a Marine Engineer, a licensed Commercial Ship's Captain, private pilot, accomplished machinist, and truly one of BC's renewable energy pioneers. During his career in renewable energy, Tony made contributions to Sea Breeze Power, Katabatic Power and most recently Orca Power. As CEO or COO, he led or contributed to teams that achieved for Sea Breeze the first BC Environmental Assessment Certificate for a Wind Project, and for Katabatic, one of the first three wind energy EPA's in the province. He played a key role in initiating the Juan de Fuca transmission line between Canada and the United States. He was currently developing tidal power projects in BC. He strived to make the world a better, safer place, doing everything with full enthusiasm. He will be greatly missed by his family, friends and colleagues. Tony is survived by his partner Nancy Levidow, daughters Auriane Chouinard-Duggleby and Elize Duggleby-Chouinard, mother Hester Elliott, brothers Mark and Dan, and sister Mary. A Memorial will be held on Wednesday October 22, 2008, at 3:30 p.m., at the Vancouver Museum, 1100 Chestnut St., Vancouver.
