Condolences
The family of Lyle Allen Kleppe has received the following condolences.
So very sorry to bear of your father's passing. My thougts are with you during these difficult times.
Although it has been many years since I last saw Lyle, it is sad to learn of the loss of another cousin and someone I assumed I would reconnect with at some future time. Growing up together in Bergen, I remember him as an older, thoughtful and somewhat reserved person that I would have liked to get to know better at another stage of life. My sympathy to his children and grandchildren and I'm sorry I will not be able to attend Lyle's memorial where I might have a chance to meet you. My thanks to Iris for letting me know of Lyle's death and my sympathy to all the Kleppe siblings on the loss of another family member.

It is with sadness that I read of Lyle's death. I, too, worked at Waters Instruments in Personnel so I knew Lyle well ... he was a charmer .... and I send my heartfelt sympathy because he will be missed by all who knew him.
