Dear Peggy & Merle Good family : Your dad was one of the friendliest men I ever met in Water Valley, always a welcoming smile and a big hello, even if you were a pesky newcomer to the country! We're all gonna miss him! So sorry for your loss.

Lyle was an old fashioned gentleman. We always enjoyed when he stopped by while checking his cows in the pasture north of our place, so we could swap some stories. And those low level fly-bys were always welcome as well. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, and we will always remember him with a smile.

Peggy, Merle, and family our sincere condolences to you all at this sad time. We had many good laughs with Lyle over the years. Lyle had a great sense of humor and loved to talk about his family all the time. His love and pride towards his family were often expressed in conversations with him. He will be greatly missed.
