Lyle Guy Kirkendall

The Kirkendall family has been blessed by the life of a good husband, father, and grandfather. I was blessed to know Lyle & Alma as good friends and neighbors. God Bless and keep all of you in His arms at this difficult time. Linda Dempsey

I met Lyle over 20 years ago and he is the reason I am a square dancer today. He was always so patient and steady in his teaching and calling. He leaves a lot of square dancers very sad. He added a lot to the square dancing world. Alma, I am soooo sorry. Enjoyed the sessions at your home. My prayers are with you.

Alma, I am saddened by the news of Lyle's passing. I admired his patient and gentle nature. He was one of the true gentleman. I’m glad I had the chance to visit with him a few months ago. Rest assured he will be remembered fondly by many.

Lyle was instrumental in my getting started as a caller. His advice and willingness to share mic time was what any new caller needs to get started! Rest in peace friend!

I just heard about the service last night from my mom. Mr Kirkendall (as I knew him while a kid ) was very kind, practically gave me my first car a 1966 Ford truck I was probably more trouble then anything. It was in our "family" for almost 10 years, couldn't have made it through college without it. Loved hanging out with the family as I grew up; thank you all for putting up with me. Sympathies and prays on his passing. Warmest Regards Tom Buonaugurio
