Lyle enjoyed boating from the time he was a child taking many family summer trips. He owned many boats throughout the years. For Lyle, boats and good music always went well together, so each of his boats, big or small, sported the best sound system.
Lyle, a self taught cook, took great pride in preparing great meals for his family and friends. He was often seen around his smoker preparing a good piece of meat for an event or in the kitchen cooking or baking up amazing recipes that left everyone in awe.
Lyle lived generously, and became an organ and tissue donor with Gift of Life-Michigan. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Gift of Life-Michigan in memory of Lyle.
