Lyle Ralph Eagles – 68, of Tatamagouche, passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 1st, 2023, in Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro.

Lyle was born in Truro to the late Ralph and Hilda (Rushton) Eagles.

Lyle has lived in the community of Tatamagouche for about 40 years. He worked for Layton's Taxi for ten years, before moving on to North Shore Recreation where he spent 20 years maintaining the facilities and mentoring the kids that came through. Once he left there, he spent the next fifteen years working with his friend Andrew Langille; five seasons lobster and herring fishing and ten years working for Tatamagouche Recycling Depot. He was a die-hard Leaf's fan.

Lyle was most happy being surrounded by people. You could usually find him every Saturday night in his shed listening to the hoe-down. He always had a listening ear and a kind heart for his friends and family.

Lyle helped so many people throughout his life, and it gave him such pleasure in doing so.
