Kyle sure was my close buddy in school. It is likely that his (and for sure, my) favorite anecdote is our road trip accross state lines - all the way into Alabama. Two high-schoolers driving a smoke-spewing, blue and gray primer-painted clunker of a '66 Mustang on a forest-lined, lone highway in the middle of the day. State Troopers stopped us and said we fit the description of two bank robbers! After their quite accurate assessment that we were just two teenagers on a quest to no-where, they sent us on our way. What a story. I will miss Kyle's quick wit and charming ways. He seemed to have a solution for any problem through humor. Rest in peace, Kyle. I miss you. Tony.
