Lyle passed away in hospice after a 3 year battle with cancer. He spent his career as a heavy duty mechanic for Finning in both Campbell River and Port Kells, as well as for Dillingham Construction - later Vancouver Pile Driving. Lyle retired in 2014 to spend more time travelling the world with Val, his wife of 25 years. He spent many happy hours in the garage tinkering with his classic car, as well as many "happy hours" enjoying a drink with family and friends after a day of skiing, or out on the boat. Above all else, Lyle loved and was proud of his family. He is survived by his wife Valerie, children; Chris (Claudia), Sean (Jamie), Erin (James), and Jacquie, his siblings; Stan (Donna), Darlene (Doug), Brian (Linda); as well as 3 beautiful grandsons. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society in Lyle's name.
