I first met Lyle at 29 Palms, CA during the B-Battery 1st Light Anti Aircraft Missile Battalion times '63-'64, and then several years later at a few fun B-Batt reunions. He will be missed. Semper Fi, Lyle, and heartfelt condolances to Sherri and the entire Cole family.

Sherri and Family, I am so very to hear of Lyle's passing. It sounds like he put up such a good fight. He was very young (I think that because I am 67) and it's so too bad that you won't have more time together. May God Bless you and keep you during this very painful time. Wendy
-- Wendy A. Fifer
We're so sorry we can't physically be there for you. We're with you in heart and spirit, lifting you up and holding you tight, and praying God surrounds you with people who love you like we do

Sorry to hear of Lyle's passing. Although I haven't seen Lyle for several years I still remember those school days at Erie. I was a classmate of Lyle all 12 years at Erie. Lee
-- Lee Ashdown
Lyle, you were a big influence in the lives of so many. You helped me through many tough times and I always appreciated you being there. You always had a humerous spin to put on things even when you were mad. If I could just say one more thing to you it's have to be "Glad you got to see me" or maybe "Thanks for being here". You were always a good friend bud. We'll see each other again.
