I knew Andy through my practice of law in Johnson County the past 33 years. In my book he was a top-notch attorney. He had a wonderful sense of humor. He will always be on my list of people that I enjoyed, and it's not very long. I will miss him.

For more than 25 year's you were not
just an attorney,you became a friend.
For many of those year's when we
would talk I always adressed you as
Mr. Lyons and you would readily
correct me with Andy. You will
be sincerely missed by my
husband & I.

I am so sorry to hear about your father. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. There will not be a day that goes by that you won't think of your Dad, but know that as time passes you begin to take comfort in those thoughts because of the times you shared with him.

Carol and Family -

I was saddened to learn of Andy's passing this last weekend. I enjoyed his company everytime we had the opportunity to visit. It was good to get to know Andy both casually at the lake and professionally over the last year on a case he was working on. He was a great neighbor, colleague and friend. Our thoughts are with you and your family.
