After thinking of old friends from Bayshore Methodist I decided to try in get in touch with Kyle yesterday sadly to find out I missed the chance. For some reason I always thought and remembered Kyle over the last 40 years as if it were yesterday we last hung out. We once with a couple other friends went to the all niter at the Tower Drive-inn for .99 cent in his green Nova i can still see so clearly in my memories. He would sign my yearbook that year saying "rember the .99 center. We were the first two kids to ride our motorcycles to school at Bayshore and would ride trails on weekends. We played all sports Bayshore had to offer back then together and I can still see his bigger than life smile he had. Such a clean, honest, decent friend. I pray that we will give praise and worship to the Lord together and catch up in heaven. I will miss him. My prayers are with his family and I pray that your grief is short. God bless, David Hamlet.

I've fished all my life but mostly from a boat. Kyle taught me about wade fishing around the Bay Area, and I was later able to share that with my nephews. Lots of great memories, and though it's been quite awhile since our fishing days, he will be sorely missed. I'm so sorry for you loss.

My thoughts and prayers to Kyle's friends and family. It's been many years since we were neighborhood friends but will remember his warm spirit.
