Heard about dear Lyle this week, I cared deeply for his wonderful family. He was a good friend always willing to help in any way he could be of help. Please accept my condolences for your loss. Peace be still.
My thoughts and prayers to the family. Lyle was a very nice gentleman and always had a smile on his face. Was always happy to help when he came to see me at work. He will be missed.
