To all the Lyons' family, I send my deepest condolences for the loss of Charlton, a life well lived. He holds a special place in my heart for the letter he wrote to me following my own father's death. It touched my heart in a most special way. I will always remember his grand laugh and smiling face. A dear, dear man. Fondly, Sally Dykes Smith

A wonderful bon vivant. Perhaps the greatest tribute is that as I read the names of his family, I think over and over what fine people each of them is. All of you are in our prayers.

Charlton cared deeply for his family, his friends, his community, and his country. The Fell family will be forever grateful to him for his tribute to our beloved Robin. It is our turn and our honor to pay tribute to Mr. Lyons with deep gratitude and respect for a life lived in service to others.

The Final Salute
Brothers and Sisters-in-Arms, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged Hand Salutes as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.
This Hand Salute is the last that we shall render to Charlton Harvard Lyons, Jr. our Brother-in-Arms. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Charlton. To Charlton it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during WW-II while serving in combat with the U.S. Army. Charlton, we commend you for your honorable military service as well as your exemplary service to the Shreveport community. You are a true patriot, who served with honor and distinction. You upheld the finest qualities of an American patriot warrior: courage, commitment, generosity, sacrifice, love and devotion to family and country. You were a true friend. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at Ease. Rest in Peace.
On behalf of the 781 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion and the 177 veterans of VFW Post 2238 in Shreveport, Louisiana, we extend our sympathies and our condolences to Charlton's family and loved ones.

I shared many a moment with Charlton at the Schumpert HealthPlex as he walked on the treadmill. He often sang happy birthday to members of the senior coffee group. For the short time I knew him I marveled
at his stories and vast knowledge. I was introduced, by him, to his book Songs I Heard My Mother Sing. It is a remarkable story.
