Geoff Sims, former vice president of ICOLD and chairman of the Rehabilitation and Maintenance Committee sadly died on 13 June 2002.

His colleagues have spoken of a great man and loyal worker for icold, the British Dam Society and the beneficiaries of dams everywhere. He was well respected both personally and professionally.

At Geoff’s own request, memorial donations can be made to the Ellenor Foundation, East Hill, Dartford, Kent DA1 1SA, UK; or to Park Attwood Clinic, Trimpley, Bewdley, Worcestershire DY12 1RE, UK.

Along with our international colleagues, the staff of International Water Power and Dam Construction would like to offer our condolences to Geoff’s family.

A full obituary notice will be published in the July 2002 issue of IWP&DC.
