the Giles W. Dalby Correctional Facility named after him in Post,
Texas; and
WHEREAS, A lifelong man of faith, he served as an Elder at
First Presbyterian Church of Post, where he stood as a positive
example of faith in action; and
WHEREAS, Although the passing of Giles W. Dalby has brought
great sorrow to those who knew him, his life stands as an
outstanding example of positive community involvement, and his
achievements will be remembered and admired for years to come; now,
therefore, be it
