To Lisa & Mark, just wanted you both to know how sorry I am to hear of your dad's passing. Going to the Jefferson Lanes bowling alley as a child growing up, will always be a memory I have of your dad. My prayers are with you now and the coming days and months that you will find comfort and peace.

I am so sorry for your loss. Hale was a fine man, I remember him well as a Jefferson police officer. He will be remembered as a man of integrity. RIP
