On February 20, 1954 he was united in marriage to Beverly Boese, the love of his life. Lyle was a very hard worker and worked for the Wisconsin Corp until his first retirement and then went to work in the maintenance department for the Heritage until he retired a second time in 2001. He made several friends while at the Heritage and boasted that his best employee was his granddaughter. One of his greatest qualities that he taught his family was the value of hard work and always giving 100%. Lyle was very mechanically inclined and there wasn't much he couldn't fix. He owned every tool imaginable and was always there to help you fix something when it fell apart. Most of all, his family was the most important thing in his life along with his wife Beverly there wasn't a ball game or soccer game that he missed for the grandchildren or great grandchildren. Lyle is survived by his children; Kathryn Keller of Appleton, Susan (Bruce) Anderson of Appleton, and Steven (and his little friend Cindy) Zoelk of Clintonville, his granddaughters: Chanda (Wayne) Millard, Marissa (special friend Luke Harris) Keller, Devon Anderson, and Sara Anderson; his "princess's" great granddaughters Keeli Millard and McKenzie Millard, his fur baby Peyton, brother-in-law Keith Boese, sisters-in-law; Jackie (Dennis) Kotloski, Nancy Boese, and Lorraine Zoelk, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Lyle was preceded in death by his parents, his wife Beverly, a daughter Sheri, a son-in-law, Michael Keller, his brothers and sisters, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law.
