I am sorry for your loss. I remember Lyle in school. I know he enjoyed listening to the organ music at Cooney Concalescent in the last few months. He was a very nice guy.

For several years I have been playing organ and keyboards as a volunteer at Cooney Home. Lyle was, from the first day he was there that I played, my biggest fan.
The last time I saw him was December 1st when I played Christmas music. He really, really enjoyed it. He always thanked me for coming and told me he loved listening to me play. I will miss him.
