Johnny Foster Lyon

My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Lyon a few years ago when he came to play in Corpus Christi, Texas. After the concert we all went out for a bit to eat. The next day he was playing at Schroeder Hall and we went to go hear him play, we really enjoyed his music. Just knowing him for that short time we have always and will always hold him in the highest regards...he was so kind to us, and just now finding out about his passing we are both saddened. And thank you so much for your...

My Friend Randy Corner told me about Johnny Foster Lyon. Sounded like a remarkable human being, may he rest in peace.

So sorry to hear about our loss. Johnny was a good friend. I had the honor of Johnny recording one of my songs. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Johnny was my Military Science Professor and the Commandant of Cadets of the Air Force R.O.T.C. unit at SouthWest Texas. We struck up a forty year friendship that began in the fall of 1969. He was one of the hardest working individuals I ever met. He was a pleasure to be around and a great Texan. I will miss him. Glen Allan Hardwick ( Houston, Texas)

Johnny and I have been friends for almost 40 years and I shall miss him, especially our lively discussions about the Longhorns and Aggies. It was a tough loss. My sympathies to Suzy, Terri, and the rest of the Lyon family.

My sincerest condolences to the family.
We all lost a little something when Johnny left us.
"Johnny we hardly knew ya..."
Rest in peace.

I travelled with Johnny, played steel guitar behind him and recorded on some of his records. He was always a gentleman and a good friend. I will always remember how he helped move my career forwards and helped me. My condolences to the family, he was a fine man.
