Thank you for your many years of friendship, and most of all helping take care of my parents over the last few years.

I know that on many occasions, when you checked on your Dad, you also checked on my parents, and I appreciate that very much. Thank you for also including my Dad in the services for you Dad. It meant so much to him.

May your many years of happy memories give you peace during this time of loss.

My heart felt sorrow for your loss. Kyle was my co-worker at S.L. Hardware. I raced with him at the Fairgrounds. He ask me to drive the first car he built. He was a good worker, a cowboy, a race car driver and friend. I'll miss him.

To the family. Kyle left a lasting legacy in you all, which you will carry on, no doubt. He was a favorite racer of mine at the Fairgrounds, and I remember the green #6 parked at a neighbor's house occasionally, when I was in the third grade. I would just sit and marvel at that wonderful looking machine.

I didnt know much about you dads past but i sure did know him know. I loved having our little conversations at the race track. I couldnt wait to see him every race. Especially for those great big bear hugs he would give me. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Kyle Jr, Michael and others,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Your father Kyle was a classic, “one of a kind.” He was a fair, no nonsense sort of a guy whom I enjoyed visiting with very much. I remember his Edmunds modified at the Fairgrounds Speedway…green number six powered by a Ford six, lots of chrome, pretty paint, and go like he was on fire. He was a real champion.
