The Senate has adjourned its session for this morning, after hearing the news of the death of longtime Idaho lobbyist Allyn Dingel. “It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that Allyn Dingel passed away,” Sen. Diane Bilyeu, D-Pocatello, told the Senate. She said Dingel watched the recent passage of a concurrent resolution honoring him, “and delighted in it.”
The Senate, like the House, had completed its formal business this morning but taken up no legislation. Among the announcements at adjournment: JFAC will not meet on Monday morning, Senate Finance Chairman Dean Cameron said. “We’ll let you know when we are meeting,” he told the Senate. The Senate then adjourned until 10 a.m. on Monday.

Gosh I was just talking about him last night to a friend who was on the phone tree. I used to jokingly lament after I peered into a seminar room and saw Dingle in the audience cause I knew he’d end up hijacking the class and “holding court” with long yet cogent observations on the law which would eventually devolve into a series of ‘war stories’ on legal battles of yore. The world is a different and lesser place with his passing by demarcating the end of an era. My condolences to the family.

Sis,
My thoughts exactly.

Can someone tell me what happened? Was this due to illness?
Sisyphus on April 24 at 12:08 p.m.
Yes ma’am. Allyn had been fighting cancer for a while.
MamaJD on April 24 at 12:09 p.m.
That is too bad. He made an impact all across Idaho and I know he will be missed.

Over the years, I did some socializing with him. He was a really nice guy.
