My deepest condolences to Lyle’s family, especially Kathryn. I will remember Lyle and his family in my prayers. The peace of the Lord be with you. +Joel
Sorry you are gone. We grew up as northside kids and shared dozens of the usual activities from grade school all the way through Fargo High.
Sorry for your loss. Lyle was one of the first people I got to know when I started with IBM in Fargo. He actually trained me in my new job. He was a pleasure to work with and always supportive. I have fond memories of Lyle and our time together.
To Kathryn and Lyle’s loved ones and family, the class of ‘63 has lost another quiet hero. Spend time loving each other.
