I enjoyed serving on the Election Commission when
Kyle was Chair. We were in different parties but
I felt we wanted the same thing-honest elections.
I had a great respect for him and thought he was a
good man. I know he will be missed by family and
the community. Your family will be in my prayers.

To Kyle's Family:
Kyle was a good friend of mine when we both were
still in our teens. He was so special and a real
gentleman. I remember how he loved Hank Snow and
Hank Williams. We would turn the radio up in his
car and sing right along with them. Kyle always
made me smile. I had the pleasure of seeing him
again when he came to the Sadler Family Reunion in
Johnson City several years ago. He had not changed
at all, just a few years older but still the
charming handsome kind man as when he was a
teenager.
Heaven has welcomed him, no doubt about it!
May God Bless your family during this time of need
and understanding.
