Staff at the Columbia Basin Trust are having a tough time following the sudden death of CEO Neil Muth.
Director Larry Binks says Muth’s tragic loss has had a profound effect on them.
Binks is furious that news of Muth’s passing appeared on social media before the Trust announced it.
The Regional District of Central Kootenay held a moment of silence for Muth Thursday.
They also agreed to put up $5,000 a year for a scholarship in his name.
