We were very sorry to hear the news of Lyles passing.When we loose a person of Lyles character it brings back such a flood of great memories and lessons learned.We were so fortunite to have experienced life in the Artic; and to have you Margaret and Lyle as our mentors was such a gift.When ever we think of Lyle the word patience seems to always be present.Im sure all of us that went into business thought of times when Lyle would would cut us some slack and we would have to show our employees some of that famous Lyle Hawkens patience.We feal that we have lost one of the finest Gentleman we have ever known;and through Lyles memory continue to use the lessons Lyle instilled in us while working in the Artic.Our deepest sympathy; Juliann and Richard Thompson
