Pierre Desilets Memoriam from Leviton:

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Pierre Desilets, a committed figure in the electrical industry, who had dedicated a lifetime to advancing safety standards, codes, and regulations.

Throughout his distinguished career, Pierre played an instrumental role in shaping the electrical landscape. His expertise and leadership were pivotal in ensuring the highest safety standards and compliance with regulations within the industry.
