Lyle´s name just came up this Monday as a group of us were remembering the loss of another in the construction industry. The phrase, " he was one of the good ones" was used. His memory lives on.
Remembering a life well lived!

Hi Lyle,
It´s hard to believe that so many years have passed. I wanted to tell you about Maddie and Mel. Marty calls Madeline `Smiley´ because she is always smiling. You might call her `legs´ because she is all legs. She has always rushed into life head first, she may get that from you.
Amelia we call Mel, it seems to fit her. She has not come into her own yet, she is still very much a Momma´s girl. Mel loves her friends and I think may become very athletic. Time will tell.
They are both beautiful girls. Your legacy lives on through all of your grandchildren.

Max,
We are coming up on five years now ... can't say it is getting any easier as time goes by. I thought of you over the weekend at Grandpa Charlie's memorial service - hope you guys bump into each other up there. You'd be proud of Joanne she's done an incredible job of handling things here. Regardless, I still do my best to keep an eye out for her and the kids in case they should need anything, and I will continue to do that as long as I'm still breathing, you can count on that. Speaking of kids, holy crap, they are multiplying like rabbits down here ... probably what makes me saddest is that you aren't here to enjoy that. Miss you a lot and think about you often. TW

Thinking of you still so often your memory will stick with many of us here at Cortese Restaurant! Miss You, Damianne.

4th of july was tough without you this year Max old buddy. But we toasted you anyway and I know you were watching. I know Suzie Q's announcement is bringing joy to you and Coleen. Oh, forgive me but after having a couple too many pops, I told SQ why we nicknamed you Max - sorry sometimes I talk too much. The boats are in and Joanne's doing okay. We miss you buddy.

Lips,
Well my friend, Christmas is here and Thanksgiving is just past. I know that you loved the Holidays and the time with family and friends. I miss our weekly phone calls and your smile and wit. I feel your spirit when I walk in the woods and know you haven't left us when I see and talk to your son and daughter, who personify your loving nature.I know Joanne misses you dearly and many are there for her. At this time of Christmas I think about my many blessings and realize that none were greater than your friendship and the legacy you have left us in your family and many works of love and generosity. See you in the woods, wind, smiles and then finally on the other side my friend.

Bubba,
I know you are having a great time in the spirit world, even though I'm not there to share it with you. Now that "Ma" is there, it should lighten things up a bit. Just wanted to let you know that I miss you a ton. Say hello to my mother for me. We'll always be there for Jo and the family.
Merry Christmas!

Lyle,
I remember the day I came from the doctor. You gave me a "Fight! Fight! Fight!" speech that would make any football coach proud. It's years later and I still think of that speech on days when my illness starts getting the best of me. Then I chuckle, "get my game on", and keep on fighting.
I never thought I'd live long enough to see a world without you in it. You were always too full of life, and frankly, too damn stubborn to let anything slow you down. Only God could do that.
It's time to rest in peace, my friend, and live on in the hearts and memories of your friends and family.
Till we meet again...cb

Dear Lyle,
As you know, I'm usually not one to be at a loss for words but since your tragically sudden passing I haven't been able to compose myself long enough to do this. I guess I still cannot comprehend or believe that you are no longer with us. My heart aches so deeply and longs to hear your voice on the phone saying "love you honey" just one more time. I was so lucky to have spoken to you on Thursday, the day before you died. Had I known it would be our last conversation I would have kept you on the phone. I would have listened to everything you had to say and recorded it in my head. I would have said "I love you" a hundred times, instead of just once. But of course, I didn't know.
I miss you and so many things about you. I miss your smile, your mischievous laugh when you were up to no good. The way you would come up the hill at the cottage to greet us when we arrived. Your hugs. Your love for people, especially your family and baby Maddie. The way you weren't afraid to express what you were feeling whether joy, excitement or sadness. Your cookouts. Your generosity. Your phone calls at 7am (when I was still sleeping) or at 9 or 10pm (when I was already in bed for the night). The way you cherished Joanne. The way you looked at Caron with adoration. The camaraderie you had with Mike. The way you teased Taylor. The closeness you had with your friends and Uncle Ralph & Uncle Cosmo. Your love for kids and babies, especially mine. Your advice. The joy you expressed for Madeline Colleen from conception to arrival. The way you lit up a room and everyone in it. I could go on & on.
You had such an impact on so many people. Your life touched so many, and because of this, your memory will live on. You've touched me and my life so deeply. I am so thankful that I was lucky enough to be a part of your family.
Thank you so much for raising an amazing man for me to love. He is like you in so many ways. Gentle and kind, but strong and a mans man too. He even looks just like you, so does our daughter. Every time I look at her precious little face, I see you. She is the most precious gift I have ever received and I have you to thank for her. Thank you for loving her SO much and for making sure everyone (even strangers) knew it! It breaks my heart that she will not be able to remember your kisses and hugs. I know you were going to spoil her rotten and this fills me with sadness the most. Your picture is on her dresser, where it will stay forever, so she can know you too. We won't let her forget just how much you loved her.
I hope you know how much we all loved you, how much I loved you. The world isn't the same without you in it. Thank you so much for everything, for all the wonderful memories you left us with. Until we meet again, and I believe we will, love you so much.
Forever's as far as we'll go.....

Mr. C:
It still has not hit me that you are no longer with us. There are so many things that remind me of you from the songs we listened to on drives; to phrases Mike and I use in our everyday conversations. In seven years, I have memories that will last a lifetime and always put a smile on my face. Without saying a word, you taught me how to live my life. I guess it is true that leaders lead by example. You will always be a part of Jenna, Brooke and my life. Look in on us from time to time!
Love ya!
Matt, Jenna and Brooke

Lyle:
I've been putting off writing this. It just seemed too hard to do. . . too painful to say what seems like a final goodbye. I still can't believe it that you are no longer with us. You have been a best friend for so many years that it seems inconceivable that somehow, for some reason, you are no longer here. You and I and our families have shared so many good times (as well as some heartaches) together over the years. Somehow, a person who lived so largely. . . you just kind of expect to live forever. But I know that you are still with us, in so many ways.
It's common these days to hear talk about the "carbon footprint" that we leave. In short, the moral is for people to be aware of the way in which they live their lives - because one's lifestyle today may have an impact on the environment for generations to come. You, my dear friend, left a "social" footprint that I never in my life have ever seen duplicated - and I doubt that I ever will. Your impact on so many people's social and emotional environment was amazing. Your lifestyle valued people and the importance of social connections to an unimaginable degree. Through your loving family and friends, it will surely live on - for generations upon generations.
You liked to refer to Diane and me as a couple of your "smart friends". I am so grateful that at your birthday party, I had the chance to tell you personally that you had taught me much more than I could ever teach you. The most important of those things was the value of friendship and love. By your example, your lifestyle was, and will forever be, a constant reminder of the importance of those values.
I miss you and will continue to miss you for the rest of my life. I will miss our "GMC's" (gin mill consultations), our dinners out with our "girls" (spouses), and a thousand other things.
Thanks for teaching me all that cool stuff, buddy. . . and mostly, thank you for being my friend. Gittyup!
With love,
Doc (& Lady Di)

Lyle,
You were always the bright light that touched everyone you came in contact with.
I always admired the love and devotion you showered on Joanne, Colleen, Mike, Caron, and your "favorite" mother-in-law. Alice, Taylor, Maddie and Mac really adored you. What an amazing legacy you left to your family and to every heart that you touched.
I will be forever thankful that you became a part of our family. In my dreams I could not have wished for a better brother-in-law.
You will always be a part of my life, as well as Jason's and Ryan's.
We will miss you so much and the great memories you left behind will be forever with us.
Forever with us all.
Love,
Cathy

My deepest sympathy to you all. I have heard over the years that Lyle was "really one of the best guys" from the Class of '69. I am sure there were many things he left undone, but with his dear friends and loving family there- I am positive they will be finished. Please know you have all been in my prayers.

Dear Joanne,
We just were contacting the Wilsons and found out about Lyle's passing. We want to tell you that we remember you and the family and have fond memories of our time in Victor when we got to know you. We still have the Pike construction hat that Lyle designed and set with the Packer colors. Being Packer fans from Wisconsin no one could have appreciated his love for anything that he dedicated his thoughts to.
He was a special person and you probably can't appreciate how many times we have thought of your family since we left Victor, so many years ago. It is a time that was special for our family and your family was part of that. We will never forget the trip to the little cabin together to go ice skating and Lyle cooking pancakes for our families in the middle of winter. We are so sorry for your and our loss.
Sincerely,

It has been a great honor to have you be my best friend for sooo many years! It was a privilege to have held you when you passed away.
Until your death, even I didn't realize how much you had done for so many people. You were an amazing person...the "older" brother I never had. If I could have taken your place that night, I would have done it in a heartbeat! Even though you tormented me for soo many years with your nicknames (will go unsaid!), nothing was ever mistaken as anything but pure love!
On behalf of Karen, Jenna (Matt), Courtney,Steve and "Ma", we all mourn your loss and will miss you terribly. We will always be there for the family.
I love you, brother!

Lyle will truly be missed by many. He is a wonderful person and it was a privilege to know him. He reminded me so much of my own father. He was kind, gentle, caring and if he knew you were down he would do whatever it took to make you smile!
We could hear him coming down the hallways of LeChase - it was like a grand entrance! It's funny how now you hear people all saying what their nick names were - and who knew he had one for everyone and how did he remember them all?!?!
As my own father passed while I was six months pregnant with my daughter (or as Lyle called her "Mini Me") I am so glad he was able to hold his little Maddy. He did cherish her with all of his heart and more. She is all he talked about from the minute he knew he was going to be a grandfather. He enjoyed sharing her photos even before she was born. Then from the minute she was born - the photos just kept pouring in. He was looking so forward to getting her a pony. She is truly the apple of his eye. She had an amazing grandpa.
Knowing Lyle was special to me, I'm sure my dad greeted him to the gates and thanked him for the many chats we had about him. I'm sure he had a nice cigar waiting for Lyle as well.
Rest in peace Lyle!

Dear Corey Family,
I was saddened to hear of your loss. I am an Architect and first met Lyle at a mutual client, Fox Hospital in Oneonta. I enjoyed working with him and most importantly "breaking bread" and telling stories! He was a great, warm and engaging man. We both enjoyed a cigar and Lyle was always willing to give me one from his stash. His influence and mentoring extended to my friend and colleague Tom Sisson, his nephew. It was obvious how Tom and others at LeChase respected Lyle as a co-worker, a good man and a lover of life.
My sincere condolences to the Corey Family,

Joanne, I was so surprised and later upset today that I had missed Lyle's passing. I was on the Board of KATS with Lyle and knew him through Camp Good Days when he continued his involvement with the Golf Tournament on behalf of Bill Coffey.
Lyle was an intricate part of KATS program through his involvement in the process and then later with his fundraising efforts. He will be sadly missed for many years to come.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Dear Joanne, Mike, Caron and the entire Corey Family,
I have struggled the last few days finding the words to express my feelings for the loss of my mentor, colleague and dear friend. The outpouring of love shown throughout the recent services is a testament to what Lyle has meant to so many. Lyle’s integrity and compassion towards life, family and friends was unprecedented for all to desire.
The poem of SUCCESS, read by Leslie Bamann at yesterday’s service, really described the man that Lyle was: “He has laughed and loved much, given himself in so many ways, and has left the world a better place.”
I had the fortune of receiving two nick names from Lyle. “Dirty-Dan” was changed to “Half-Dan” due to some recent weight loss. I can only aspire to live a life where I can consider myself half of Lyle. When I can accomplish even half of what he has accomplish and touch the lives of half as many people as he has, then I will know that I too have succeeded.
Jackie and I are forever grateful for the time we have spent together and appreciate all the wonderful family and friends that he has graciously added into our lives.
My deepest condolences,
Dan Gasbarre

Dear Joanne and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I didn't know Lyle very long but am glad I was able to get to know him. After coming to calling hours it was obvious he was loved by many - the flowers, the people and the good memories people shared while we were waiting in line. Lyle lived life to the fullest! Good for him - he knew how to do it. Keep good memories of him. You have family and friends who will help to guide you through this.

I have not seen you in several years, but we knew each other on AC-5, and you know my daughter, Melissa Napolitano, and ex-husband Bob Zavaglia. You made an impression during the years I worked on AC-5 as a very warm, caring person. Please know that I am thinking of you. Take care.

Dear Corey Family,
I had the privilege of knowing Lyle for the last 10 years (5 as a co-worker at LeChase and the last 5 as a spouse of a LeChase'r). He always made me feel as though I never left the company. He was always sincere and warm when asking about my family and he would glow with pride and love when talking about his own family. He was a man of great warmth and his legacy will live on in ALL the people and lives that he touched. He lived his life in such a way that he was a tremendous impact on everyone he met. He will be greatly missed and our hearts go out to you and your family in this difficult time.
With great love and sorrow,

Dearest Corey Family,
I will miss “Mr. Mean” more than any words could express. His mischievous grin while he anticipated a response to one of his pranks is forever in my memory. Snakes in my drawers and bugs on my phone and seat could only be pulled off so smoothly by Lyle. I tried to retaliate with creatures hanging off of his moose’s (or was it an elk?) antlers, but I knew that his comeback would have me sitting on edge until he struck. Over the 25 years I knew him, he maintained his boyish smile and sparkling eyes, always having time for a big hug. I was Ellie-May from the get go, and found it endearing. I didn’t realize that he had nicknames for everyone to make us all feel “special”. I hope he realized just how very very special he was to all of us.
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. It is a never ending heartache for all.
Love
Eleanor "Ellie-May" LeChase

Joanne and the Corey Family,
I've had the sincere honor of working with Lyle at LeChase and few individuals have made such an impression on me. I worked with Lyle regularly and whenever he saw me in the hall he would ALWAYS say "Where's your other brother Daryl?".
Throughout my career it never failed that this comment would come up and I began to get bored with it. However, from this point forward whenever I hear it I will fondly think of Lyle and will always hold him in my heart. We are all certainly better for the time we spent with him.
May his memories carry you through your time of sorrow.
Thank you for sharing him with us and I will keep you in my prayers.
God bless

When Lyle came to our annual Schuler-Haas fishing trip one year wearing 2-357 magnum pistols and sporting a 30-06 rifle he stopped us all in our tracks! Then he broke out into that infectious laugh and we all realized it was just Lyle being himself, enjoying life to the fullest and bringing us along for the ride. I will always remember that day when I think of Lyle. He was a great man with a giant heart and I will miss him dearly as both a friend and a colleague.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the Corey family at this difficult time in your lives.

I met Lyle the first time about a year ago interviewing with LCS Binghamton. I knew right away that he was the type of person that eveyone wishes they have the opportunity work with. Over this last year I always had a strong sense of pride working under his direction and I will definitely miss that. He was a great man and will forever be remembered that way. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family.

Joanne -
When I found out this morning that Lyle had passed away my heart sank and I had to catch my breath. I consider Lyle a close friend and great companion. We spent many hours together on the road when I was at LeChase Construction. We had many great conversations, and he was very open and honest person with the utmost in wisdom. He truly had depth and breadth in his personality, and the highest level of character and honor. He was so proud of his family, and truly loved his you his wife. One of my great regrets after I left LeChase was that I could no longer spend those hours with Lyle.
Oh and one other thing, when we were on the road, there was never a tractor for sale we would not stop and look at...

Over the last couple of days I have struggled to find the words to express my feelings about Lyle's passing; none seem to say enough except these:
Judge a life not by its distance but its richness
Lyle's was truly a rich one
Rich in Family
Rich in Friends
Rich in Community
He will be missed
I will miss him

Dear Corey Family,
My thoughts are with you at this time of remembrance. I know he is not here in body anymore but he is definitely here in spirit. Lyle is a great soul. I worked with Lyle for almost 25 years. He was a great person. I learned many things from Lyle that I will take with me forever. I will miss him. He was a fun loving person that lived life to the fullest and always "stopped to smell the roses".
Peace, thoughts & prayers to the family.

I have so many great memories of the Corey household, I spent many days and nights causing ruckus around there. Lyle and Joanne were always so understanding of our mishaps as young kids. As upset as they would be with us, the doors were always open to come back the next night. I cherish the memories I have of the Corey family, Lyle you will be deeply missed! Colleen, I miss and Love you!
Joanne please reach out if you need me, I'd love to be there for you!

Joanne, Mike and Caron,
It is difficult to find the words to express how much we will miss Lyle. He was larger than life, the kind of person who lit up an entire room just by entering it. I will miss hearing him call my husband Davey Ray in that booming voice of his. There are so many memories of him that we will cherish. He left his mark on this world and on this family that will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

To the Corey family:
I was shocked to hear of Lyle's passing.
We go all the way back to Alfred State in the late 60's. I was privlegded to call him my friend then and now.
Do know that we will all see him again in God's kingdom.
May God bless and keep you during this difficult time.

Dear Joanne,
You are in our thoughts and prayers. Lyle touched so many people throughout his life. He will be remembered in this community for a long time. While he has left us much too soon - his was a life well lived. His ability to enjoy each day while making lasting connections with everyone he met is something I will always admire about Lyle. His spirit endures well beyond the bricks and mortar that his work left behind. Although his passing has left a hole too big to fill, please find comfort that God has called him to a better place. Knowing Lyle, he has already asked for an assignment there - helping to watch over us all.

I had the honor and privilege of working with Lyle a few years ago. I will honestly say that he was respected & loved by everyone. He always had a positive attitude and there wasn't anything he wouldn't do for you. He will certainly be deeply missed by all who knew him. Peace, prayers & blessings to the Corey family.

Words cannot even begin to express the heartfelt sympathies that go out to the Corey family and especially Joanne during this difficult time. I’ve worked with Lyle for 5 years and I can honestly say that he was the type of person that you instantly loved. His smile and energy will be truly missed. My heart hurts at this tremendous loss and I can only say that God must have needed a pretty special Angel to have chosen Lyle.

Words can not express how we feel about Lyle. He was a mans man. He was a Boss, mentor, father, brother,but most of he was a friend. I am proud to have known him and know that the 5 years we have been together here in Binghamton will be 5 years that I will never forget. Our thoughts and prayers will be with Lyle and your family.
We loved him and always will
