Tom is survived by his wife of 55 years, Linda, his sons, Todd Thomas, his wife, Christine & granddaughter Abby, & Matthew William, his wife Erin.
Tom was born in Spokane WA and was preceded in death by his parents, Dr. Frances Marion & Grace Lyle, and his brother Richard Lyle.
Tom was a Veteran and spent 6 years in the National Guard in Washington State and California. Tom’s lifelong love of golf started as his fathers’ caddy when he was 8 years old and he played golf for over 60 years.
Tom was a lifelong educator and taught English and PE with the Berryessa School District for 35 years. Linda was a teacher as well & they took advantage of summer break and traveled by plane and road trips over many summers with Todd and Matt. Tom and Linda continued to travel and see friends and family across the United States and spent many vacations in Kona Hawaii. 5 years ago, Tom got to go on the trip of a lifetime, a safari trip to Africa with Matt and Erin. They celebrated Tom's 70th and Matt's 40th birthdays. Tom loved that trip and shared his memories of the time he spent in Africa with Matt & Erin.
Tom was a wonderful Papa to his granddaughter Abby. He enjoyed spending time with Abby & she has many fun memories of their many visits to zoos in California and Colorado. They both loved going to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. Abby will always remember her Papa dressed in a Reindeer onesie at Christmas.
