Barbara, Darren, Garett, Norma and families:
My sympathy goes out to all of you at this sad time of Lyle’s passing. I first met him when he was just a teenager … living life to the full and enjoying his bikes, his fast cars, and his many buddies. I watched him become a family man, a hard-working and very successful farmer, and a highly respected member of the Champion community and the County of Vulcan. He had a very rewarding life … his many friends just wish it would have been so much longer! Our thoughts are with you all!
