He is survived by his sister, Shirley Cox, his nieces, nephews, great nieces, nephews and great great nieces and nephews. Lyle will be dearly missed. His laughter and smile were contagious and he was loved by so many friends and family.

Lyle worked many years at the Columbia Station Greenhouses picking tomatoes and delivering flowers and was known for being the best worker. Lyle then faithfully visited his mom daily for years at her nursing home volunteering and helping in whatever way they needed. His loyalty and love for his family is an inspiration. Lyle loved his cars and would wax and shine them daily when he got off work. Through the years Lyle loved playing sports and games with his nieces and nephews especially soccer, ping pong and chess. Lyle had a great passion for watching his Cleveland sports teams whenever they played. Lyle faithfully participated in the activities that O'Neill Healthcare planned daily for their residents.

Thank you to the fabulous hospice staff and O'Neill staff who loved on Lyle for so many years and would navigate FaceTime and phone calls with family members. We appreciate everything they have done. We will honor Lyle's life with a service on
