Local friends and former politicians react to the loss of Jim Prentice
LETHBRIDGE – “I was absolutely shocked, you just don’t expect something like this.”
Greg Weadick, the former Progressive Conservative MLA for Lethbridge West, made the statement to Lethbridge News Now Friday morning, shortly after learning of the death of former Alberta Premier Jim Prentice.
“I’d known Jim for a very long time and we’d worked together on the project to bring the conservative parties together federally,” explained Weadick. “He was a very hard working and dedicated man to work with, he had a wonderful wife and three lovely daughters that I know are just going to miss him incredibly, and it’s just a horrible tragedy.”
Weadick went on to discuss Prentice on a personal level, saying he will be deeply missed.
