Lyle and the love of his life Ellyn raised four children. Lyle was a craftsman, an iron worker by trade and built many homes for his family. He continued to share his love as he volunteered with the Peoria FFA program as a shop teacher, meats judging coach and mentor for over 30 years. He shared his love for agriculture with his family and volunteered at the Maricopa County Fair and Arizona National Livestock Show as a beef superintendent for several years. His biggest joy in life was spending time with his family and some would say he was the world’s greatest grandpa. He never missed a county fair, sporting event, graduation, was up to any task his family wanted, and their biggest cheerleader.
