Former Swift Current MLA John Wall will be laid to rest this afternoon.

 

Wall represented the Swift Current riding as a member of the Saskatchewan New Democrats from 1995 to 1999.

 

Premier Brad Wall has expressed his condolences to John's family.  He ran against John in the 1999 campaign and says, despite their political differences, he admired John's honesty and committment to the people of Swift Current and Saskatchewan.

 

John Wall died last week at the age of 72, and his funeral will be held at First United Church at 2:00pm.
