    Randy and Carrie Kyle

    Mary Jo, we were incredibly sad to hear of Walt's passing and so very sorry for your and your family's loss. Walt was a great friend, wonderful golf partner, happy soul and always ready for a good laugh at mine or his own expense. He was the only person I knew that could fix any vehicle and you could trust the repair was needed and the cost was fair! We will always remember the fun times in the Sports Lounge with the both of you and Sophie. I will truly miss never being called "one more Randy" by him again. Knowing Walt was a true blessing. We wish you and your family the very best in moving forward in life while keeping Walt in your hearts. With love, Randy and Carrie Kyle.

    Walt was kind and thoughtful. He always greeted me by name and with a smile. He'd answer the phone when I'd call. He gave me good advice over the years. My condolences to the family.

what our families say

Tiffany Foster went out of her way to fulfill all my requests, talked me through problems I was facing, and tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible when I was a wreck, totally crushed, and I thank her with all of my heart for that.

James S. | July 2020

The professional manner of the staff made a difficult time a little easier.

Lynda R. | July 2020

Services provided for both parents were perfect, on time, and no issues. Brenda is awesome and strong!

Michael M. | July 2020

Skyler was absolutely amazing. She was so caring and helpful through this whole process. She even went above and beyond to meet with us in DeForest and even to make a stop at our home to drop off or pick up anything needed. While it was a small gesture, it was so helpful and greatly appreciated.
