To the Lyles family:

I express my deepest condolences to you on the passing of Mr. Joe. I found him to be a true gentleman and a great neighbor. He was the first to come over and introduce himself when my family moved down the street from him 8 years ago. It will hard driving by and not seeing him working in his yard (the best on the block by the way) however I know he is in a better place where there is no more pain. I will cherish his memory. God bless each of you.

To The Lyles Family. I never got to meet any of you but I knew your Father. He was a wonderful man. Full of life, vigor and comedy. He never met a stanger no matter where he was. I will certainly miss his wit and widsom. He had a great love for family and was so proud of his home and garden. I will certainly miss him. Thank you for sharing him with so many people.

Mom(Audrey) saw him a few months ago and she said he had the entire Fabric store laughing. He is with your brother now And he is keeping everyone laughing...
