Lyle always gave of himself to others without even thinking about it.
His heart was freely given to those of us who love him and loved him back then.
Though he has departed this life he took with him the love that everyone knew and still imparts it to those whom he wishes to love.
I feel his love emanating within me and I am most happy to feel the love he gave.
There is a reason why I feel the way I do about Lyle and it is because he was always truthful to those of us who knew him and even to a stranger.
One of the things he loved to do was to read the paper on a continual basis.
He was one who was well informed of the affairs of the city he lived and the country he served.
I am most happy to have known this great man who was always humble.
I miss him today from being there at home and reading the local paper.
But I know one day I will be able to see him again and it hopefully will bring me joy.
