Lyle Hulce

Lyle was born on Nov. 17, 1937, in Kingsford. He worked as a pipefitter/welder during his working career.

He was known for his love of God and family and was a charter member of Community Bible Chapel in Norway. His life was a beautiful example of God’s commandment to “love your neighbor as yourself.” If you asked for or needed help, he was always available, working as a plumber, welder, carpenter, farm helper, butcher, and lumberman in his helping career. He traveled to Central America, Africa, and Canada, using his skills on the mission field.

Lyle was an avid outdoorsman; hunting, fishing, and trapping, and passed on his love of these to many of his grandchildren.

He is survived by his loving wife of 68 years, Gloria Hulce (Blackberg); sister Sannie Giuliani; brothers Frank Hulce and Wayne (Mary) Hulce; sister-in-law Nancy Hulce; daughters Karen (Wally) Hoppe, Cindy (Dick) Berlinski, Susie (Tim) Beaulier and Linda (Jim) Rogers; nine grandchildren; and 16 great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Mae (Witz) Hulce; brothers Dave and Ron Hulce; sisters Alice Simonetti, June Hirte, Pauline King, and Wanda Lesandrini; son Keith Aaron Hulce, who died at birth; and son-in-law Dick Berlinski.
