Jeff had skills but above all a good heart. He never gave up on anything. He brought small town (Brockville) values with him as a colleague, husband and father.
Jeff saved Bruce's life before there was any thought of applying to the NHL for an expansion franchise.
The story of Jeff Kyle, Phil Esposito and John Ziegler--the coin flip at the 1st entry draft that brought Alexei Yashin to the Sens and eventfully Zdeno Chara.
How Jeff used patience and persistence plus charm to clear more than 135 condition so the Palladium (now Canadian Tire Centre) could be built.
He will be missed... he's gone to his eternal rest.
What would Jeff want for the rest of us now? Get on with life and make each day count.
