Len Lyall

Lyall, Len, 81, peacefully passed away on March 2, 2012. He is preceded in death by his loving wife, Marge, of 58 years. Len is survived by his sister, Iris Whitehouse, his three children: Jim, Jennifer, and Jayne Lyall, and his eight grandchildren. Len was a respected auto dealer in Aurora for 36 years. He was born in Detroit, Michigan and began his auto career there, working in a dealership, and starting an auto parts business. His life long dream of becoming an auto dealer was realized in 1976 when he moved to Colorado and established Len Lyall Chevrolet, Inc. For many years his beloved wife worked alongside him as did one of his daughters and his son, it was truly a family enterprise. The business continues today with Len's son, Jim, running the store. Len was a great family man and proud "Grampy" to his eight grandchildren. He loved to fish, spend time at his mountain cabin, and tell a joke. He will always be remembered for his generous spirit, humble disposition, and his good natured antics. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a donation in his name be made to the American Heart Association or The Denver Hospice. A memorial service is scheduled for Sunday March 11th at 2pm at Eastern Hills Community Church, 25511 East Smoky Hill Rd, Aurora, Co 80016.
