His son, Lane Amlin, took over the printing business when Lyle Amlin finally retired in June 2007.

He was very active in the Anderson community and was a member of the Anderson Kiwanis for many years. “He started and maintained the community garden for ACCA as well as volunteering at the agency’s food bank every week until he learned of the cancer,” Lane Amlin said.
