In Alberta he worked oil patch and did construction until he retired two years ago. Lyal worked hard and played hard and his family and friends will remember him for his love of socializing. Whether it was a planned camping weekend or an impromptu gathering around the table in Lyal and Connie's kitchen, all were welcomed. Lyal's star shone the brightest when he was surrounded with family and friends. Connie, Cindy and Curtis would like to thank the nurses and doctors at the cancer clinic, unit 32 of Red Deer Regional Hospital. Your care and concern helped Lyal and us through some very tough times. No funeral service will be held at Lyal's request.
