The loss of Rick Butler

I was greatly saddened by the news of Rocky View County Deputy Reeve Rick Butler's death, this past Monday.  He was killed in a skiing accident in the mountains.  Rick represented the Bragg Creek area so our contact was minimal, however I was most aware of his passion to preserve farmland while allowing controlled residential development in rural areas.  His wisdom and passions will be missed.

My deepest simpathy and condolences go to his friends, family and his fellow Rocky View County councillors.
