A. Lyle Havens M.D.

Dr. Lyle Havens was our family doctor, and delivered my 2 younger sisters. I'll never forget when he came to our home to soothe my mother, Sharon Rose Erwin Haq, after the sudden death of our father Raza-ul-Haq, during a cricket game in 1971. Lyle continued to care for us and was my role model family doctor.

I later attended medical school and became a family doctor and professor, partly due to the great positive impact Lyle had on our family.

He was a great man, a great doctor, and will be sorely missed.

Sincerely,

Cynthia Haq MD
Professor of Family Medicine

Dr. Lyle was my family physican for years and delivered two of my children. He was always such a kind and caring person and a true friend of our family (Jim, Kate, Nancy and Linda Bottorff). We will always have fond memories of him.

Deepest sympathy to all of the family.

Doc truly was a great man! I was fortunate enough to go on a couple of golf trips and hang out at the Elk's with Doc. I can not put into words how much I admired and respected him.

I truly believe Dr. Lyle cared as much, if not more, about me as a person than as a client.
My sincere condolences to the entire Family as you led a full life with his presence.
We lost a wonderful person in A. Lyle Havens, M.D. and Friend!

Dear Dr. Jim & Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Lyle's passing. I have been a patient of
Dr. Lyle and Dr. McKechnie since Sparks Ave. office. He was truly a great man and Doctor and will be missed by many. I know that he and Dr. Tom are together and are at peace. I will miss them both. May God hold you all in the palm of his hand and give you peace now.

I was honored to be a part of his life. My life was enriched having known him. I will always keep him in my heart. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Mary, Jim, and Walter

Our deepest condolences over the loss
of your dad. He, too, felt more like an uncle than a cousin to us. Lyle's dedication to his family and the unparalleled accomplishments in his profession have made all of us very proud of him. We're sure that our late grandfather Reeves would have felt the same way.

Kelli, Keith and the Havens family:

We celebrate his life, we are honored to know him. He will be missed and we are deeply sorry for your loss. Our family prays for you in this difficult time. Our hearts are with you as well.

Dear Havens family, So sorry to hear about your loss. Lyle was a great man who built a great practice. Our prayers are with you during this time.

Dear Havens Family,

Our parents leona and Specks Densford were patients Dr. Lyle and thought the world of him. My sister Connie and Mary were childhood friends from St. Augustine and Providence, and Connie often spent time with Mary at the house on Sparks Ave. Connie said she had fond memories of the Havens family. I remember many times riding down that long driveway with my mom to pick Connie up after she spent time with Mary and how much I admired their wonderful old home .

With heartfelt sympathy,

Julie, Connie, Kathy, Bill and Tom Densford

We are so sorry to learn of Lyle's death. What a wonderful Father, Grandfather, and Uncle he was. Bill and I always thought of him as our uncle, not cousin. It's never easy to lose a parent, no matter how old they or we are. He will be greatly missed by so many. Our love and prayers go out to each of you. Much Love to all,
Mina, Jim, Bill, Laurie, and families.

Dr. Havens was a really wonderful person. I enjoyed every conversation we had when he was visited us. He truly loved talking about his family and his love for you was in every word. My thoughts and prayers to you at this time.

Dear Kelli & Family,
I am so sorry for your loss and everyone elses loss. Dr. Lyle was the most gentle & sweet man, I think I have ever met. I have never met a doctor yet to have such a sweet, gentle and sincere manner. He will be truly missed my so many.

Lyle Havens was the dearest, wisest, most intelligent man that Jeffersonville, Indiana has known or ever will. We were lucky to have him for as long as we did, and he will be missed forever more. He was a sexy beast with a sparkling wit and much charm. May Patricia and all his family celebrate him joyfully. Wish I could be there. In spirit, I am. Love and prayers to you all.

Thank you for being such wonderful neighbors. It's been a joy to share your family and to have known Lyle personally, socially and professionally. He'll be missed by all the tens of thousands of people whose lives he enriched with his gentle manner, professional demeanor and easy sense of humor. Gone, but never forgotten.

Dear Mary, I am so sorry to hear about your dad....I remember talking about him when I worked with you at Maple and your affection for him. My sincere sympathies to you and the whole family

There are not words to describe my dearest Dr. Lyle. He touched so very many people, every one of them becoming a better person for having known him. I was blessed to be a part of his life and am forever grateful. My heart goes out to all who will miss him. He will forever be alive in my heart. Love, Patty

Dear Kelly, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. I know he will be missed by you and many others, my dad for one. He thought the world of your dad.
