Dr. Lyons was my perio for 14+ years until he retired. Always liked seeing him. He really took very good care of me, had nice smile, sad that he is no more for a while.

I was saddened to learn of Mikes passing. I was very fortunate to have known Mike as a fraternity brother at SUNY of Albany, he was a great friend. My prayers for Marie, Robert, Max, Leonard and the families. I will always cherish the times being with Mike.

I am devastated today as I learned of my wonderful old employers passing. I was thinking of him recently and was so saddened to hear of this news. Working in his office and with the staff was one of the highlights of my career as a hygienist. We all cried together the day he announced his retirement because we loved working in that office and now today I cry alone remembering my time working with a crew that I've not found since leaving the practice after he retired. My very deepest condolences to Marie and the boys on your extremely profound loss. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers. May your memories bring you some comfort.

Respectfully,

Deena

Mike was my Perio from the time we were both only 33 years old until he retired. I loved Mike and I am very saddened to read this. I am sure Mike is with God. I recently wrote him a letter and now I know why I didn't receive a response. Mike always spoke about his wife and family and was a GREAT MAN! I am sure Mike is with God.
