An instrumental figure in the effort to establish a military company in Prince George has passed away.
Rocky Mountain Rangers' commanding officer, Lt. Col. John Feller, died Friday after a lengthy but undisclosed illness. A funeral with full military honours is planned for Sunday in Kamloops where he lived.
Although not yet up and running, Feller's death should not derail efforts to return the Rocky Mountain Rangers to Prince George, said Canadian Armed Forces Captain Chris Poulton.
