Lyle Lynch, 79, of State Center, formerly of What Cheer and the Malcom area died Sunday, Nov. 28, at State Center Manor.

A graveside service was conducted Wednesday at the Sheridan Cemetery northeast of Grinnell, with the Smith Funeral Home in charge of arrangements.

During the 1940s and 50s, he owned and operated Lynch's Television Shop in What Cheer. He retired because of health problems. He had been a resident of State Center Manor since 1980.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his aunt and uncle who raised him, and one brother, Truman.

A Lyle Lynch Memorial Fund has been established.
