I remember Lyle always being the fun uncle in the family. He attended every family function and took the time to talk to everyone. Even though I haven't actually been "in" the family for quite a while, I still think of the Curtis family with very fond memories and know Lyle will be very missed. My condolences to you all and may God bless you!
Many hugs from me to you!

I remember Lyle when we first came to Michigan. He was a Senior and I was in the 6th grade. One of his sisters is my aunt.
Regards to the family
