As Lyle Robert departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Lyle Robert may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Lyle Robert leaves behind.

He is survived by: his wife Joan Cross; his children, Lowell (Estrella) of Weeki Wachee, Florida, Dorothy Cross of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Donna Hengeveld (Steve) of Port Townsend, Dorlene Cross of Spokane, Washington and Marjorie; his granddaughter Colleen Teichman (Paul) of Kalispell, Montana; and his sister Shirley Nelson of Carson, Washington. He is also survived by two sisters-in-law, and many nieces and nephews.

As his declining mental state drifted into Alzheimer's, Lyle's mode of communication became song.
