Lyle was one of my all time favorite people at my dental office. I always made him a hot chocolate and he always had a joke for us! Lyle was so genuine, kind, funny and loved his lovely wife Sharon and their family so very much. He also loved his church family and spoke of them so highly. We will sincerely miss you Lyle until we meet again. My deepest sympathy to Sharon and your family and friends.
