Thomas Lyon

Still think of Tom Lyon often whenever a Agricultural issue comes up or something in politics because Tom would get involved. I miss lunches where Tom would invite several of us to discuss issues like this or Badger sports.

How difficult to realize Tom will no longer be serving as a group´s active listener. His seemingly off-hand, though thoughtful, wisdom will be missed.

My sympathy to Tom's family and all who knew him. I knew him through his wide ranging service to the University of Wisconsin. He believed in public service and shared his ideas and sought the ideas of faculty and staff across the breadth of the UW and UW-Extension. He knew especially the challenges and strengths of Wisconsin's rural people. He believed in the progress that could be made when people brought their talents together. Tom Lyon leaves a legacy of accomplishment and public service...

A great man has passed. The family has our deepest sympathy

I was so sorry to read about Tom. He was always a voice of reason when I needed advice during my tenure with The Country Today. He often sent me editorial or story ideas and I always enjoyed visiting with him. May your good memories of your husband, father and grandfather sustain you during these difficult times.

What a privilege to know Tom. His intellect, humor & friendship will continue to bring us good memories. Sending hugs & prayers of healing to Barb & family.

Barbara, sorry to hear about the loss of Tom, enjoyed your visits in Florida and your condo in Door County,

Barbara and family, sorry for your loss. Tom was a good friend.

It is hard to believe Tom is gone. He went so fast. Tom was a great help to me in my career at the University over the years. He was a great friend. And Barbara Bette and I enjoyed the gatherings at your home, restaurants and at the country club. We sure will miss Tom.
