Twenty-six years ago, Kyle started his own company, Lakeside Contracting. Six years ago he was joined in his business by his son Benny.

Kyle had many hobbies! From bowling, hunting, fishing, to working on his many projects. He was a hotrod fanatic, especially when it came to Pontiacs, as you could tell by looking in his shop. Above all though, he loved being "papa" to his six grandchildren.
