Sen. Salazar's Statement on the Passing of Jack Weil DENVER, CO – Today, United States Senator Ken Salazar issued the following statement regarding the passing of Jack A. Weil, founder of Rockmount Ranch Wear. “Today is a sad day for Colorado and the West. Stepping foot into the Rockmount Ranch Wear store down on Wazee, where it has stood for the last six decades, will not be the same without seeing Jack behind the counter. His presence in our community will truly be missed, but his memory will live on in the minds of all those who understand that the west, as Jack said, is not a place, but a state of mind.” ###
