The Butler County commissioners took a moment during their bi-monthly meeting on Wednesday to recognize Ray Steffler.
Steffler had been involved with both the Community Action Committee and the Communications Council for the county, and was also the chairman of BC3’s board of trustees for two decades.
All three commissioners- Leslie Osche, Kim Geyer and Kevin Boozel spoke very highly of Steffler.
“The county lost a great friend,” board chairman Osche said Wednesday. “He’s a great example for all of us in Butler County.”
Staffler was 82 years old when he died Saturday at a Pittsburgh hospital after a brief battle with cancer.
A celebration of Steffler’s life will be held at Butler County Community College on March 17.
