Condolences are pouring in following the death of Jim Button, who co-founded Village Brewery, one of Calgary's most well-known and beloved craft brewers.
Button's death was announced on his blog, Gather with Jim, in a post titled,"From the moment I first found out I had terminal cancer, I've understood that I live a full life, a life with few regrets, and a ridiculous amount of adventure, and an equal amount of love, gratitude, and friendships galore," he wrote. "So I've never been afraid of this day, nor should you of yours.
"I think it's going to be an imperative for all businesses in the future," he told the CBC News four years ago. "If you aren't a private enterprise acting like a social enterprise, I think you will fall behind." News of Button's death sent ripples through social media, where many Calgarians described him as a mentor, an inspiration and a dear friend.
