Lyle was pastor at Haslett Baptist Church when I met him. I was in college and we often met to share our vision and direction together. Also visited at the parsonage with Marilyn and got to know them well. I learned a lot from him and always liked sharing life with him. Very intelligent and compassionate man of God. Thank you Lord for times we spent together. Gary Raymond

Dear Marilyn and family, My heart hurt when I heard that Doc had passed into eternity. He was pastor, counselor, neighbor and friend. I know Mom was very excited to see him! I'm praying for you. Love, janica (Sutliffe) Janica Burau
