Jim and I had only met a few years ago. We became close friends, I bought our company electrical parts at Lowes. Yesterday I went there to meet him for our usual chat about our kids, our families and just life in general... I was stunned at the sad news, and left there numb... I will miss Jim dearly.. he was a great,great human being and family man.
Sincerely, Rocco J. DelGrosso

To the Lyons Family.
I was a classmate of Jims at SJCI, he was a good friend and we spent a lot of time catching up at the 35th reunion. He was dedicated to the Tom Moore fund which became a worthy cause because of him.
Please accept our sincere condolences

I was shocked to learn of the passing of Jim Lyons. I was a classmate of his at St. Joe's. When I saw him at the last reunion in 2007 he was very friendly and cheerful.
