in return. He was a man of
few words, except for when
it came to politics. He was
a humble, simple man who
never asked for anything.
For him, happiness was
found in the small things.

love of his life, Karen;

He was preceded in
death by his parents, broth-
er Mark Duane Kandle, fa-
ther-in-law Howard Crow-
ell and grandparents.
His family stated, “We
knew Dad’s love not so
much by his words, but
most definitely by his ac-
tions.”
As per his request there
will be no service. His fam-
ily will grant his wish and
return him home to Oregon.
In lieu of flowers,
please have a bologna sand-
wich, drink a diet coke (no
ice), plant a tree and spend
time with your loved ones.
Rest in not idleness,
and to lie sometimes on
the grass under trees on a
summer’s day, listening to
the murmur of the water, or
watching the clouds float
across the sky, is by no
means a waste of time. ~
John Lubbock
In Kandle’s own words,
“I came, I saw, I died!”
