Lyle Clifton Glick, 72, of Quinter passed away Friday, December 11, 2015 at Gove County Medical Center. Lyle was born on the family farm southwest of Quinter on July 24, 1943 to Delmar and Willadeen (Sharp) Glick. He attended Sunshine School and graduated from Quinter High School, class of 1962.
On August, 17, 1963, Lyle married Janice Ziegler in St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Collyer. He worked for Flex-King for 13 years until his return to the farm in 1974. Lyle was a proud farmer raising Angus cattle,known by all producers in northwest Kansas, and growing wheat and milo. For Lyle, there was never a project too big – he could create something out of anything.
After “retiring” from farming and ranching, Lyle did not slow down. Quality time was spent on the road riding his Harley. When he wasn’t traveling with family and relatives, he spent time cutting iron at DC Welding or harvesting at Porter Farms. Some of his best times were spent with his grandkids giving him plenty of stories to share with others.
Lyle will be missed by many family and friends, including his wife, Janice of the home; 3 sons, Kevin Glick and Brooke Moore of Greeley Colorado, Darin Glick and wife Mary of Quinter, and Waylon Glick of Lenexa; 7 seven grandchildren, Whitney Glick of Austin, TX, Wyatt Glick of Boulder, CO, and Dana Glick of Superior, CO, Caden Glick, Eli Glick and Kyler Glick of Quinter, and Kristin Bishop and husband Tim Bishop of Franklin, IN; and 2 sisters, Ramona McCoy of Cheyenne, WY, and Aurilla Zerr of Quinter.
Preceding him in death were a sister, Levay Deines, and a son, Tad Glick.
