  Lyle was born on October 5, 1931 at Watrous. Lyle began
working at an early age on the family farm as well as in the bush
and lumber mill. In 1955, he and Thelma married and moved to
Estevan where he began a career in the oilfield. Eventually, he
started Lyle’s Construction Ltd in the early sixties and continued
working in the oilfield until 1980. Lyle then retired from the oil-
field and he and Thelma moved to their farm near Porcupine
Plain, Saskatchewan. In 2003, they moved back to Estevan to
be closer to the family.
  Lyle was a hard-working man who loved to fish, hunt, and play
cards with the family. He spent countless hours in the backyard,
gardening, stargazing and visiting. He enjoyed his casino excur-
sions. They had many pets over the years, which gave Lyle
much enjoyment.
  At Lyle’s request there will be no service and a private family
interment at a later date.
  Arrangements were entrusted to Hall Funeral Services, Este-
van.
Thank You
We would like to thank Dr. Christie, the hospital staff and EMT’s
