It was my pleasure to get to know Jerry Dale during my time as lobbyist for the Constables Association since 1994. He was a supporter of mine through some tough times in the Association and we got to be close friends. He helped provide some stable leadership and made the Association a more cohesive group. I visited with him this summer at the convention. I knew he was facing some tough health issues, but was hoping he could pull through. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, Cindy and girls.
