Glenn was very proud of his heritage as a citizen of West Tulsa and readily shared his knowledge of it's history !
How fortunate we were to have had the opportunity to take a few trips with Glenn to the Red Fork and Berryhill areas — both of which hold and held fond memories over the many years. Reminiscing and recalling the days of Tulsa's early growth and the parts played in our lives was always a delight. We shall miss our visits in the neighborhood. Thank you, Glenn, and rest in peace fine man. Judy and Fred Koontz, neighbors
How fortunate we are that we could share some trips to the Red Fork and Berryhill areas that meant so much to both Glenn and us over the past few years. Reminiscing and recalling so many things in those areas as well as the good ol' days as Tulsa grew was a delight. We shall miss the spontaneous visits we shared when he graced our neighborhood, yet we feel grateful and richer to have had those opportunities. Thank you, Glenn, and rest in peace fine man.

How fortunate we were to have been able to share trips the past few years to the Red Fork and Berryhill areas which held special meaning both to him as well as to us. Reminiscing and recalling so much of the earlier days of that area and the development of the Tulsa for which we have shared so long was always a pleasure with Glenn. We will miss the visits and conversations yet be grateful we were able to have them. He continually enriched our lives with quality and interest. Rest in peace, Glenn, and thank you, Judy and Fred Koontz, neighbors
We have never met his family, as we have just been neighbors of Mr. Lyles. He would be out walking in the neighborhood every day in almost any weather, and he would often stop and chat with us. He was always friendly and gracious, and a pleasure to be around. He would remember details about our family, and sometimes would relate pleasant experiences about his walks. I felt a particular connection with him because of his WWII experience; my dear uncle was also a WWII veteran (he was in the Battle of the Bulge and died 2 months ago at the age of 90). Mr. Lyles was very sad after he lost his beloved wife, but was always still able to appreciate the blessings in his life. I always felt a sense of happiness and contentment after seeing him out walking or talking with him. Please accept out condolences — we will miss him terribly.Jennifer Gibbens and Tom Clark
