MANKATO â Longtime Katolight CEO Lyle Jacobson guided the Mankato-based company as it grew into a major source of diesel generators. And after the family-owned business was sold, his attention turned to providing a financial spark for the development of a downtown childrenâs museum and funding community charities.
Jacobson died Tuesday. He was 79.
âLyle ran his company in an extremely fair way. He was a really nice guy. Lots of people lost a really good friend â the community lost a really good friend, too,â said Randy Berkland, of Mankato.
