He loved his children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews. He loved fishing, golfing, music, photography, rambling road trips, sports and most of all he loved having a good meal. He was a great dancer and had the most beautiful voice. His declining health in the last several years made it more difficult for him to do the things he wanted. However he had great memories of his days at the Sandpit, the lake and rodeos. As well as a life fully lived in health. His heart was always focused on his immediate and extended family. So our hearts will desperately miss Dad, Tata, Uncle Kyle, Uncle Tata and his living presence. He was loved! Kyle is survived by his wife Jan, of 43 years.
