Sad News: Tom Lyons has passed

"Puck" 1 Comment

I just received an email from a mutual friend. Here is the email:

Steve McDonald here.  I was Membership Chairman for a period in the 90’s and early 2000’s. I’m still on the e-mail list, but I haven’t been an active member since probably 2004 or so.  I left Houston at the end of 2001 and have only made it back infrequently.  Tom Lyons and I were inseparable fishing buddies while we were both there and very active in the Club. 

I got a call from Tom’s wife, Gay, yesterday that Tom had passed away on the 19th.  I thought I should send a notice to the Club of his passing because there are probably several folks still around who would like to know.  There are no services planned as yet, and I’m not sure if there will be anything in Texas as he has been living in Maryland close to family for the last few years.  Tom had an aggressive form of cancer and passed only 5 days after the diagnosis.  He was 83 years old. 

Please keep me on the e-mail list, as I really enjoy reading about the ‘goings-on’ with the Club.  I’m fishing for trout – the fresh water kind- now, but I miss the saltwater quite a bit.  It’s great to see that the Club is still going strong. 

Many kind regards,

Steve McDonald
