Lyle was born on June 16, 1937, to Alfred and Nora (Skogen) Davidson in Charles City. He was baptized on July 18, 1937, and confirmed May 6, 1951, at St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church. He attended school in Charles City graduating on June 3, 1955.
Lyle married Alice Vera Mae Bunston on September 28, 1957. To this union three children were born: Cynthia, Mark, and Timothy. They lived in Charles City until the summer of 1968 and then bought a house in Nashua.
Lyle worked a variety of jobs including George P. Smith, Hydrotile and Featherlite. He installed floors in the Featherlite trailers. His most memorable moments at Featherlite were when he got to meet racecar drivers whose trailers he worked on.
He took pride in his workmanship. He always had a neat and clean yard. When the kids and grandkids started playing ball he would attend their games. He had lots of patience when it came to problem solving and he would work until it was solved.
Surviving family members include his sons, Mark (Cindy) and Tim (Julia); grandchildren: Matt Davidson, Jennifer (Matthew) Holschlag, and Alyssah, Jordan, & Spencer Davidson; two great-grandchildren; sisters-in-law, Shirley Davidson and Sharon Davidson; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
He is preceded in death by his parents; wife, Vera in 2018, daughter, Cindy Hahn in 2018; grandson, Chad Hahn; brothers: Irving (Elaine), Glen (Ruth), Allan, Alvin, and Oscar; sisters: Marion (Raymond), Gen (Dean) Arlette (John); niece, Ellen; and nephew, Ron.
A special thank you to the staff at 9th Street Chautauqua for the care you gave Lyle. It is all greatly appreciated.
