Archie C. Lyles Jr., a retired director of governmental affairs for construction company Brown & Root Inc., died Wednesday at West Jefferson Medical Center. He was 77.

He was active in Louisiana politics, business and industry for more than half a century. He served on several state boards and commissions appointed by Govs. McKeithen, Roemer, Foster and Secretary of State Fox McKeithen.
"He was one of the few guys who got together and established a course of action so that business could have a voice in politics," said his son, Mark T. Lyles. "When he started out, organized labor controlled politics, and business didn't have much of a voice."
Mr. Lyles started his political career as a page in the state House of Representatives in 1938. He was involved in business legislation such as Right to Work and prevailing wage, workers compensation, unemployment compensation, and tort and fiscal reform.
After his retirement from Brown & Root in 1992, Mr. Lyles served as the company's consultant and political and business adviser.
Mr. Lyles was an appointed member of the Louisiana Board of Commerce and Industry and served as chairman from 1996 to 2000.
Mr. Lyles was an appointed member of the Louisiana State Archives Commission. He was a founding member and former chairman of the board of the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry, former chairman of SouthPac, founding member and former chairman of the Louisiana Right to Work Committee, and a former executive committee member of the Plaquemines Parish Chamber of Commerce.
He was a founding member and president of the Associated Builders and Contractors Bayou Chapter, and he received the organization's Member of the Year Award in 1973, Man of the Year Award in 1988 and Lifetime Membership Award in 1992.
He was a Navy veteran of World War II, serving in the South Pacific.
Mr. Lyles was a former lieutenant with Louisiana State Police Troop D in Lake Charles.
Survivors include his wife, Josie M. Lyles; a son, Mark T. Lyles; two daughters, Mary Lyles Adair and Lisa Lyles Kirwin; a sister, Katherine Kingery; six grandchildren; and a great-grandchild.
A Mass will be said Tuesday at 1 p.m. at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. Visitation will be Monday from 6 to 9 p.m. and Tuesday beginning at 10 a.m. There also will be visitation Wednesday from 9 a.m. to noon at Ardoin Funeral Home, 301 S.
