I'm sorry I only got to know Joe in last year of his life. He & Jean has an interesting life together. Joe gave me glimpse into his life journey. Joe was a honest, loyal, caring guy under that sometimes gruff exterior. He loved his family fiercely and was very proud of their accomplishments. It was a privilege to work with the Lyons family. He will be missed! My prayers with your family.
