Letter: Sam Granato was a tireless force for good — he will be missed

(Francisco Kjolseth | Tribune File Photo) County councilmen Sam Granato who is up for re-election, attends the 2017 budget presentation by Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams on Tuesday, Oct. 25, 2016.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Salt Lake County Councilman Sam Granato, a bridge-builder and tireless force for good. It is a major loss for our community. Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”

Councilman Granato gave generously in several different ways, as a champion for the underdog, successful local business owner and diligent representative of Salt Lake County Council District 4. An institution in both politics and business, he will be missed.
