Dear Jan and family,
It was good to read all the wonderful messages and memories of Lyle in the guest book.  I think of him and you all often.  He was part of my past working days at MICO that I remember and smile about often!!

Dear Jan and family,
My sincere sympathy in hearing the sad sad news of Lyle's passing.  I was one of the MICO gang while he lived in MN and have so happy we've been able to have lunch and keep in touch when he came to MN to visit.  We always had so much fun.  He was truly a nice good guy and I'll surely miss him.
My prayers are with you all.
God bless,  Kathy Jeske Pringle

I always liked Lyle. What a great person! He will be missed by many.

I worked with Lyle on a daily basis in the early 80's.  He always had a good story, a kind soul, and a terrific work ethic.  I will remember him fondly.

My condolences to the Abraham Family.

I remember the first time I met the man, who later became my Dad, he was wearing a green coat and carring a red tool box, coming to fix something a my Mom's house in 1972. I always wanted to have a Dad, I will truley miss him, love ya Dad,your son Jim.

I really hope that Lyle is now with my parents and they are young again and I hope they are in paradise with no more pain.
Sincerely,
Tracy Brasseaur

I am so sorry to hear he passed on. My mom, Lois Pfeifer, just passed on the end of October. I was on the phone with Lyle for about an hour and a half listening to his memories of both my parents. He also called me the day after my mom's funeral to see how it went and I was too filled with grief to talk to him. My brother John was going to call him. Janet Lee, he talked about you to me alot and how great of a person you are and how much you loved taking care of children. He told me you had a new grandson and you were going to be spending alot of time visiting him.
He told me so many memories of my parents and I appreciated that sooo much. 
I know there is nothing I can do or say to make this any better, but you sincerely have my condolences and I would love to know when the memorial will be in Owatonna. I know he was just here for his class reunion. He said it was difficulat driving back by himself. God, may he rest in peace.....
Sincerely,

My family and I grew up with Lyle at the supper table most days.  He was my dad's best friend and his employee at the motor repair shop.  Lyle's name was a daily one in my dad's vocabulary, he thought the world of Lyle.  My parent's both passed away recently and now another angel has joined them.  My deepest sympathy is with you all, may God be your comfort! Leah Ann (Pfeifer) Talamantes

Dear Jan and family,

Lyle was a good friend of ours.  He had a great sense of humor and always made us laugh.  A very talented, gifted engineer.  He truly cared about people and he will be greatly missed.

My condolences to Lyle's family and freinds. I had the chance to work with Lyle many times since meeting him in 1996. He was a very smart man that always had great ideas knowing how to come up with the right solution for our problems. I will miss him!

My sister and I referred to Lyle as "Mr. Lyle."  We grew up across the street from the Abraham family in Kingwood and over time Mr. Lyle and my Dad became great friends.  One thing that I know about Lyle was how much he wanted to help others.  He was a great man, and any time my Dad needed help with fixing something Lyle was there to help out.  He will truly be missed by our family.  We'll continue to keep the Abraham family in our prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Abraham family at this difficult time. I first met Lyle about 17 years ago.  I really enjoyed the BBQ place that he had.  Since then he has been a loyal client to us at Northpark Barbershop.  He was always the first to support us in our annual car show.  He would always be the first one there, and always lend a hand in the setup of the show.  We always loved his stories and he kept the shop supplied with Street Rod and Hot Rod magazines.  Lyle was an awesome person and we will truly miss him as a client and friend.  Annette Brogdon   Northpark Barbershop

My deepest sympathy to Lyle's family! I had known Lyle for several years through work. It was always a joy to see Lyle. I really admired Lyle for who he was and enjoyed our time together. He was world class in his line of work as I am sure he was with his family. Any one that that knew Lyle will truely miss him. We were blessed to have known him.

Lyle was a great mentor of mine and I use somthing he taught me in each day of my life. I am so lucky that I will always be able to tell Lyle Abraham stories about cooking, the experainces in the machine shop and just things about a very good friend. I will truly miss you Lyle!
Good By old friend,
Rick Alspaugh
