Hyla Stephanie Tryon was born April 5, 1953 on Easter Sunday. Hyle was working at the CF&I. Daddy was always the best Dad in the World to me as was Mom the very best Momma. I was blessed to have such wonderful parents.

Hyle then moved his family to Boone, Colorado and worked at the Pueblo Army Depot. The family lived there until 1963 when the family moved to Pueblo, Colorado. He enjoyed the open spaces more than city life. A large lot let him enjoy his gardening and fruit trees.

Hyle enjoyed gardening in 1994. He grew some giant sunflowers in 1994. They were much taller than Daddy. He always had a garden with many types of beans and peas, tomatoes, Kohlrabi, Jerusalem artichokes, and many more veggies. Mom had her beautiful roses that were easily 5 feet tall. They loved to garden together.
