Lyle was a quiet man who through the years enjoyed riding Brahma Bulls, throwing horseshoes, woodworking projects, and an occasional game of bowling or cards. Lyle enjoyed his family very much and often bragged about his three Grandchildren. He had a dry wit, loved to joke, and enjoyed an occasional beer and Bloody Mary while he talked to his friends.
