"Pam, Vicki, & Ron,
I am deeply sorry to hear of Lyle's passing. I have many fond memories of him from my time spent there on the farm: riding with him in his air conditioned combine through the fields, hoeing bean fields, his boisterous welcoming voice at the dinner table at grandma's, the book he gave me on Abe Lincoln when I was in junior high, seeing him in Fremont a few summers ago. Truly a friendly and welcoming person, I will miss him, as I am sure you do so much at this point. I will keep all of you in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Greg Allen"

"Ron, Pam and Vicki: My most vivid memory of Lyle was when he was about five or six years old and we were playing just north of the horse barn. A cat had caught a mouse and was playing with it. I remember telling Lyle what the mouse was going through, and Lyle started crying. I took the mouse, which was not yet hurt, to stop Lyle from crying. I was afraid if Mother came out, she would give me a hard time over making him cry. Lyle stopped crying when I took the mouse away. The other thing I remember about Lyle was playing "pick up sticks". He was good at that and would beat me about half of the time. It was one of the few games we played where he was my equal.
One Christmas I got a train. Dad and Uncle Bob put it on a piece of plywood and they played with it most of Christmas Day. Lyle and I finally got to play with it just before supper. Lyle enjoyed the train a lot more than I did. I'm sorry I couldn't make the funeral, but I will always remember Lyle. He was a wonderful brother. Love, Dale Allen"

"Ron, Pam and Vicki: I just wanted to tell you how sad I was to hear of Lyle's passing. I remember the fun times visiting Nebraska as a girl and spending time at your home or seeing Lyle at his parents home during our visits. I also recall the fun time we had in Washington when you all came out about 10 years ago. He was a great person and will be missed. I will keep you in my thoughts. Geri Dennis"
