Kyle made me feel welcomed at WHS when I transferred junior year from another school. I considered him a friend. I have not talked to him since that yard party thing after graduation 1977. Throughout college and the madness of life I thought of him often. I missed knowing him. I will miss him more now. Rest in peace my friend.

Great guy - hadn't seem him possibly since graduation. Lots of fun (& "funny" memories). We worked at Continental Finer Foods together & I was a regular at the poker games he held at his house which was just a few streets away from where I lived.
Good times.

Very sorry to hear of Kyle's passing. We were friends in high school and, like Nat ,I lost touch with him. He was a dedicated member of the senior boys club and always up for fun and a joke. Wishing peace for his family.

Kyle sure was my close buddy in school. It is likely that his (and for sure, my) favorite anecdote is our road trip accross state lines - all the way into Alabama. Two high-schoolers driving a smoke-spewing, blue and gray primer-painted clunker of a '66 Mustang on a forest-lined, lone highway in the middle of the day. State Troopers stopped us and said we fit the description of two bank robbers! After their quite accurate assessment that we were just two teenagers on a quest to no-where, they sent us on our way. What a story. I will miss Kyle's quick wit and charming ways. He seemed to have a solution for any problem through humor. Rest in peace, Kyle. I miss you. Tony.

Kyle was fun to be around. He had a smile that could light up a room. I seem to remember that he was originally from Pittsburgh, Pa. He won't be forgotten.Prayers for Kyle.

I have good memories of Kyle's generosity of spirit and warmth. I remember hanging out and laughing with him at various parties, and senior boys activities. He had an inspiring way of making people feel comfortable and welcome. Too soon to lose him.

I fully agree with all of my classmates comments about Kyle. I really enjoyed spending time with him. You could always find him hanging out at night with the "Perthshire Crew". Rest In Peace Kyle!
