| Description | Former Montana Attorney General Joe Mazurek, known by friends and adversaries alike as a dedicated public servant who could find common ground where others couldn’t, died Tuesday in Helena from complications of Alzheimer’s disease. He was 64.
Mazurek, a Democrat who also ran for governor and served 12 years as a state senator from Helena, had been diagnosed with early stage Alzheimer’s in 2007. His family went public about his condition earlier this year, in a news story distributed by the McLaughlin Research Institute in Great Falls, whose scientists are researching Alzheimer’s.
As Mazurek’s death became known Tuesday, accolades poured in from colleagues and friends of all political stripes, including U.S. senators, congressional and gubernatorial candidates, former governors, state Supreme Court justices and legislators. |
