GOV. RITTER STATEMENT REGARDING DEATH OF TOM FARLEY

Gov. Bill Ritter issued the following statement today regarding the death of Tom Farley, a member of the Colorado State University System Board of Governors:

“Tom was a long-time friend whose heart always belonged to Pueblo . He was an incredible public servant, having served in the state Legislature, on the Colorado Wildlife Commission, the state Board of Agriculture and most recently on the CSU board. He was a fierce advocate for higher education and was enthusiastic about every cause and every issue he tackled. Combine his passion and commitment with a great sense of humor, and he was just a wonderful person to be around. He served the state in invaluable ways and he will be sorely missed. Jeannie and I send our deepest condolences to Tom’s family, friends and colleagues.”
