BREWSTER, Lyle - It is with such deep sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Lyle Melvin Brewster of Saskatoon on May 10, 2007. Lyle will be so lovingly remembered by his best friend and soul mate, Connie Webster; children, Lauren Kayla and Gregory Lyle Brewster and their mother, Winnie; Connie's children, Lindsay and Shawn Webster; his mother, Eva Brewster; his grandma, Mary-Jane Kelly; his brothers, Larry (Jackie) and Kelly (Rhonda), Jeff and Trent; his sister, Donna; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, great niece and great nephew. Lyle was predeceased by his Grandpa Brewster; his Grandma Brewster; his Grandpa Kelly; and his father, Melvin Brewster. Lyle was born in Prince Albert on August 17, 1951. For many of his younger years, he was involved in numerous sports and in 1969 he joined the navy out of Halifax, Nova Scotia for a year. Lyle spent many years in the financial industry and various entrepreneurships and made many good friends. His children were the love of his life and how his eyes would sparkle whenever he spoke of them. Lauren, on her first trip to the movies to see Fivel Goes West with her daddy in her little white ruffled blouse, red skirt, white stockings and her little black patent shoes. He was so proud of Gregory when he formed a company at the age of 11 with his buddy to shovel snow for $2.00 a driveway and delivered flyers to 97 households. "What a little entrepreneur " he would say. All the important things he kept, including Greg's first letter to Santa and the little popsicle box that Greg made with Lauren's help (she ate the popsicles) just shows how very much he loved them both. Though not known by many, Lyle was a very spiritual person and found his strength in the music he loved. In this music, dear Lyle, we will feel you once again. "Listen to the music inside, That is all you have to do. Listen to the music inside Can't you hear what it says to you " Van Morrison It is comforting to us knowing that Lyle is only away. He's gone searching for the Philosopher's Stone.
