Honoring the Legacy of Buz Koelbel: A Visionary Leader Who Transformed Colorado

Buz Koelbel made our state a better place.

Seldom do we have the privilege to know, appreciate, and enjoy the many contributions of one man. As a titan of industry, generous philanthropist and thoughtful policy leader, Buz Koelbel has made Colorado a better place.

As a founding member of Common Sense Institute Buz Koelbel was committed to free enterprise and individual opportunity. Through his steadfast leadership he reminded us of the dignity and value a single job can make. Thanks to his visionary leadership, Buz enhanced lives in Colorado.

We are so grateful to Buz and his visionary leadership. He will be sorely missed. We send prayers for peace and condolences to Sherri and the entire Koelbel family.
