The Lake family expresses it great sorrow and sadness today. But we rejoice in the life of Lyle Specht and the wonderful fellow Marine and friend that he has been to our father, P Frank Lake for all these many years.

In God's Grace,
Frank Lake, Cindy, Randy and David Lake

I will miss a long-time friend and golf buddy.
