At the age of 16, Lyle left school to run the family farm. He also started working at Neenah Paper, and was drafted into the United States Army serving 1954-1956. He was in active reserves until 1961, then honorably discharged. Upon returning from the service in 1956, he continued working at Neenah Paper. Lyle engaged in farming purchasing his first farm in Greenville in 1956. In December of 1956, he met JoAnn Jarchow after a short courtship; they later married on September 28, 1957.
Together they farmed in Greenville, later selling the farm, and purchasing a farm in Hortonville. Lyle continued farming until he retired in 1988, selling the farm to his son. The tradition is still carried on today, owned and operated by his son and grandsons.
In his early retirement years Lyle enjoyed gardening, driving tractor when he could, and babysitting his grand children. In his later retirement years he enjoyed taking bus trips to the casino, going to Polka functions, spending time with grand children and great grand children.
