that should not have happened. I extend my condolences to his family.
But I also agree with Butch. The owner of the shop who was filling the tank should have known better and is responsible for his own death. It don't matter who asked him to fill it, he is the owner of the shop and has the right to refuse service to anyone when the tank's inspection is not current.
I just can't fathom a man who has been in the business as long as he was, and was evidently well respected by the local diving community, doing something of that nature to begin with. Sad.
