Lyle was a man that endured the bad things in life and was cheerful to all.
He never used a façade to make himself appear another man.
Lyle was his own person and never denied the Lord anything.
He was given to the things that God wanted him to experience.
I never heard of Lyle complaining about anything but praise the Lord.
Lyle was a true soldier of the cross and bore his well.
There was never an easy out for him for he took the bad with the good times.
It is true that Lyle had a new heart within him that trusted Jesus all the time.
There never was a time when he would throw up his hands and try to give his chores to someone else.
Lyle was a brother and friend to me where I knew I would be all right.
Lyle abided by the Lord and sought through Him the right ways to go.
