Jim was my cousin. The last time I saw him was at his uncle Eddie's funeral in Walnut Grove, CA., August 1976. Today I decided to try to get Jims email address and locate him when his obituary displayed on google. We communicated for years on family genealogy before my wife died. I have very good memories of Jim growing up as my parents liked his parents and we even traveled to San Francisco several times to visit and play cards. There were 13 Lyon cousins and 11 remain as my brother Warren died at age 55 in 2005. My mother Alta Mamie Lyon was Jims fathers sister. I will be 83 December 10th Bernie G.Ryan, El Dorado Hills, CA.

So sorry to hear of your family's loss. I always remember Mr. & Mrs. Lyon being such big supporters of the track team. In fact I'm sure I have seen photos of them standing up and cheering us on.

Pat, my den mother, and the whole family. I was deeply saddened by the news of Jim's passing. he was always a larger than life figure to me. I enjoyed his wit and straightforward nature. he even had the nerve to tell me to shoot the ball with more arc when his was so flat. dad is out of town but had heard and sent me a message. he relayed many fond memories of their times together. our hearts are with you.
