Lyman was born in Kennebunkport March 1, 1918, the son of Lyman H. and Goldie Perry Huff. Lyman's ties to Cape Porpoise go back to the founding of the community. He was born and brought up here and spent nearly his entire adult life with his loving wife Louise Clark, the daughter of boat builder Clement Clark, in their home at the head of the harbor. They took great pride in 1969 when they purchased and restored the Olde Garrison House, the oldest house in the village. Having spent his entire life on or beside the waters of Cape Porpoise, no one loved this special place more. He attended Cape Porpoise and graduated from Kennebunkport High School. During World War II Lyman served in the Merchant Marines. He was a member of the Maine Lobstermen's Association, the Cape Porpoise Fire Department and the Church on the Cape in Cape Porpoise.
