He taught at Stanford, Cornell, and the University of Pennsylvania before coming to Carleton University (1960-96), where he was a popular teacher and valued colleague. He then spent a year as visiting professor of Engineering at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia (1996-97).
He was an expert on Roman aqueducts, the Greek colonisation of Southern France, and ancient technology. He published books on The Woodwork of Greek Roofs (1960), Future Currents in Roman Aqueducts (ed., 1991), Roman Aqueducts and Water Supply (1992), Ancient Greek France (1998), Frontinus’ Legacy (ed. with Deane Blackman, 2001), and Ancient Roman Aqueducts and Water Supply (second edition, 2002), as well as numerous articles and encyclopedia entries. He was very active in the popular media, publishing frequently in the Globe & Mail, Ottawa Citizen, and Scientific American, as well as being a commentator, writer and interviewer for CBC radio and CTV. In his retirement, he lectured at conferences and on Caribbean and Mediterranean cruise ships.
He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Colette, their three daughters and three grandchildren. A service of celebration of his life was held on February 22 at the Southminster United Church in Ottawa.
