| Oct. 4, 2012 Bill Schum | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Lyle Schum passed away Perhaps some of you knew my dad, Lyle. Contact me with questions. Bill Schum 505.449.7234 Long-time Alpine resident Lyle J. Schum, 83, died of natural causes on October 2, 2012 with family in Delta, Colorado. He had been preceded in death in 2003 by his wife of 54 years, Jackie. Lyle was born (April 29, 1929) and raised in Champaign, Illinois, before moving to Chicago in his early teens. He became a Chicago firefighter and he and Jackie raised seven boys. He retired in 1983 after 30 years of service and moved to Alpine where he and Jackie personally built their home. Lyle was a jack-of-all-trades who worked part-time for numerous local residents when he wasn’t tinkering at home or playing in the La Mesa Seniors’ Softball League. His greatest pleasure was hosting his large family and entertaining them with endless stories of his comical adventures on the streets of Chicago. Declining health caused him to leave Alpine and move closer to family in 2009. Lyle was also preceded in death by his parents and two sisters. He is survived by his sons and daughters-in-law Robert and Rhonda of Waukesha, WI; John and Colette of La Veta, CO; Thomas and Karen of Ridgeway, CO; James and Shirley of Hotchkiss, CO; Donald and Donna of Culpepper, VA; Kenneth and Debra of Cedaredge, CO; William and Tiffany of Albuquerque, NM; 15 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. |
