Lyle was like an uncle to me at church. My kids were drawn to him too. Always a smile, a piece of candy and a special hello. I still have the Tin Man he made me from a coffee can and soup cans. He was a great guy.

Lyle was a wonderful kind friend. He was always a friendly face to look for in church. He made a big difference in both my kids and my life with his caring. He will certainly be missed. God bless

Even though I didn't know Lyle as well as some, he was a very kind man. He knew how to stay out of my way when I was cleaning the house. I know you will miss him Jean, but you have so many great friends and family surrounding you. If you need anything, just call.

I love you Uncle Lyle. I will always hold you dear in my heart. You were a father, uncle and grandfather all bundled up in one to me. I will miss you! I'm so glad I got to see you last summer. You were always good about coming to see me when I would make a trip home. Love to my Auntie Jean and my dear sister, Cathie. I love you both very much!
