I liked Lyndel. He was a fun young man. Always involved in high school life. So sorry for his loss. Thanks to Adrian White we now know that he died in 2020. The obituary above doesn't give much personal information about him. Just his accomplishments which were many. If you have personal remembrances of him, please put them in this comment section. Rest in peace, Lyndel.

Lyndel was everybody's good neighbor and friend.  I loved hanging out with him.  He was very down-to-earth, and an altogether decent guy.  And he's been gone already 2 1/2 years!  One by one, our circle of friends is getting hollowed out.

So sorry to hear of Lyndels passing. I have not seen him in many a year, but the memories of hanging

around with him seem so vivid to me. He was a real likable guy and fun to be around.

Roger was so right about our ranks getting thin. I guess at our age it is expected, altho so many have gone so long ago before what we would expect.
