Thomas Lyons

My sincere condolences to the family of Tom. I have very found memories of our youth in Springfield. Tom may be gone but the memories stay.....I´m very sorry for your loss.

Tom and I worked together on a summer ('67 Miracle Sox) job in Springfield before I went away to Washington, DC for my 1st year in college. We were outdoors 8 hours a day 5 days a week. We worked hard & laughed even harder. We would talk cars, girls, music, he'd tell me what college would be like--but most of all it was Red Sox talk...Yaz, Tony C., and the rest. We even hung out Thursday nights in downtown Springfield--the stores were open late. We ran into each other the following year and...

I am grateful for the things he taught me, even when he wasn't necessarily trying. Mostly I'm grateful that he got to know his granddaughter and she got to know him before his disease took hold. He'd recognize her voice from fifty ft away and yell out with a huge smile on his face.. "There's my granddaughter Teally!" as soon as we'd round the corner.

When I think of Tommy, it´s always with a smile. I have so many fun memories of him. He will be missed. Suzy, I´m sorry for your loss. May you find peace.

Besides being an amazing person I´m in awe of the humor and dignity Tom managed with his diagnosis. Any visit was a pleasure. He is missed.

Dear Suzy, We were deeply saddened to hear of Tom´s passing. We were privileged to have known him. We know he had character and personality that endeared him to all who came in contact with him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Nothing can take from you the Wealth of Wonderful Memories and Happiness that you have shared for many years. Let your faith and courage bring you peace in the midst of this great sorrow. With all our Sympathy & Love Wayne & Donna Lemoine
