 The Ministry of Public Utilities, Energy and Ports learned with sadness, the news of the sudden passing of Mr. Joel Huggins, Managing Director of Dominica Electricity Services Ltd, (DOMLEC) while he was en route to visit family and friends in his native St. Vincent on Friday, November 14th 2008.
Mr. Huggins is being remembered for his quiet and calm demeanour but clear decisiveness of action in the various exchanges and dealings between his firm and the Ministry of Public Utilities, Energy and Ports on issues relating to the electricity sector.
The Ministry maintained an open dialogue with Mr. Huggins and at the time of his death was in the process of writing to inform him of the establishment of a Committee by the Minister which would engage DOMLEC in discussions regarding the terms of a Power Purchase Agreement between DOMLEC and the Government to supply electricity from Government’s Supplementary Power Generating Plant intended for construction at Jimmit with grant support from the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Mr. Huggins had earlier in discussions with the Minister indicated his company’s support for the Government’s initiative to supplement electricity generation as this would save DOMLEC valuable investment capital.
I, Honourable Charles Savarin, Minister for Public Utilities, Energy and Ports, and the Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica take this opportunity to convey sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Joel Huggins and to the Directors, Management and staff of DOMLEC.

Tips to writing your Condolences |

- If applicable, briefly describe how you admired and respected the deceased.
- Provide a sentence or two about the unique strengths, talents and achievements of the deceased.
- Be sure to balance your words between the professional and more formal tone of a condolence letter and its very personal nature.
- Be respectful of the mourner's emotionally state. He or she is probably quite drained emotionally, so it's important to keep your letter brief.
- Offer your willingness to assist the mourner, and make sure you are prepared to answer the call should a specific need arise.
- Given you are representative of your organization, be careful not to delve too deeply into religious statements that might not be perceived by all parties in way you mean. Use common sense and good judgment here.
- Treat the person in the way you would hope to be treated if the roles were reversed. Consider what would mean the most to you if the roles were reversed.
If you wished to post a condolence, death announcement, send a note to the bereaved or just sharing comforting words, please create an account ( regester) - activate it from the activation email, login, select the right category (add and image if you wish) and type or paste what you wish to say. It’s that easy.
