We grew up in the same south Omaha neighborhood, and our parents were friends of Lyle and Jean. We also camped with them. We want to send our condolences to the Porter family! From one of the Pope girls

Lyle would always come into the bank and tell me about his next fishing trip and his boat. It reminded me of all the good times I had being on the boat with my dad as a kid. I will miss Lyle!

Lyle was a good friend and neighbor. Always helpful, always positive, and always fun. I enjoyed - and will greatly miss - the times we spent talking and "solving the world´s problems."

Lyle was so much fun. Always laughing and joking around play horse shoes. Always positive and never said a bad word about anybody. We called him Pops.
