Lyle was a man of purpose all the time.
He never let an opportunity pass him by without acting; upon it.
Lyle was a self made man of whom my life is full in remembering him.
Caring and always accommodating was he.
I could lay my heart out for him to help me and he would.
This was the purpose he had in mind when he lived to care for others.
I am elated and blessed beyond words of the man he was and the love he had.
Was told time and time again he loved me which spurred me on to do the things I had planned to do and succeed.
This is the kind of man he was and remains to be; in my own mind and heart.
It would be something wonderful if you got the opportunity to accept this as truth for it is and find in him a great man of which he is.
Bless the memory of Lyle B. for the man he was and remains to be.
