Lyle was on active duty with the 12th Armored Division in the European Theatre of operations during World War II. He served with a tank battalion as part of a reconnaissance platoon drawing fire as forward artillery observers, he was wounded
in battle, was awarded the Purple Heart, and is listed in the Purple Heart Museum. An advocate for Historic Preservation, he maintained that, "We've been given a glorious past, and we now must create a worthy history beginning in our own lifetime and environment." Lyle served on the original Board of Historic Preservation. He publicly embraced the concept of a downtown mall, connecting Bergo's as a third major tenant. His slogan "When Bergo's has A Sale - It is A Sale!" attracted national attention. The Bergos were avid antique collectors scouring the local countryside and traveling to Europe in search of interesting items. Much of their collection was used as decorative enhancement in the store. But it wasn't all business. He enjoyed family activities for almost 40 summers at their cottage on the South Shore of Clear Lake where sailing became an important endeavor. He was deeply involved in the activities of the Clear Lake Yacht Club, serving the club on its race committee and as its Commodore in 1992. Lyle skippered his own racing boat, winning the "Hawkeye Cup" with his five member crew for the state of Iowa. Skiing was also an important family activity and in later years he enjoyed the company of his golf foursome, the four B's. Laughter was an important ingredient to his and Pat's life and his sense of humor carried through right to the end. He loved his store and went to work every day and never retired. "There are many treasures to attain in life, but memory is most lasting, for it is a treasure of the mind". Lyle considered community service to be a privilege, not a duty. He served on the boards of Mercy Hospital, First National Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, Historic Preservation Society, was a Rotarian Paul Harris Fellow, a member of Holy Family Catholic Church, and the Knights of Columbus. Always promoting change and growth for his community, he traveled to China as a member of Mason City's Economic Development group. Left to cherish is memory and celebrate his life are his beloved wife of 65 years, Patricia Lee Bergo; daughter, Pamala Bergo Coffey and husband, Tim, of Washington, Iowa; son, Jeffrey Lee Bergo and wife, Jean, of Mason City; son, Rex Lyle Bergo Jr. and wife, Julie, of Mason City; daughter, Jennifer Jo Langhart and husband, Karl, of Mason City, who all at some point were involved in the original Bergo's Department Store team.
