I knew Dr Lyons retired because the sign on Western Avenue changed. He looked forward to retirement and I�m sorry that it was too short. Wishing his family my condolences at this time. Too young, just too young.

My deepest sympathy to Dr. Lyon�s family. Dr. Lyons was our dentist, Rodger Joly, my brother and myself
for many, many years. He was always so kind to my brother Rodger and i am so thankful we were
his patients and received such wonderful care. I hope Dr. Lyons will be Rodger�s dentist in heaven.

I was a patient of Mike Lyons and his friend too. He always spoke well about his wife and family. I first met him when he was part of Strongin and Lyons; we were both about 33 years old. I always loved Mike for his personality, wit and intelligence. He was far too young for this but I am sure he is with God.
DAVID M FOX October 4, 2019
I am very much saddened and feeling loss. Mike was one of the nicest people I�ve known. I know I speak for the entire GDX family when I say we will all miss him
JOANNE SCHLANG October 4, 2019
So sorry for Dr. Mike�s passing. Despite the fact that I only knew him in his professional capacity, he would always make me laugh and I always appreciated his kind and gentle manner. I�m hoping that there�s a golf course waiting wherever he is. Joanne Schlang

MIKE PASQUALI October 5, 2019
Marie, Robert and Max. I was shocked and deeply saddened to read of Mike�s passing! I always respected Mike as a colleague and felt very confident referring my patients and friends, knowing they would get kind, competent care. I admired Mike as a father. When the boys were little and playing baseball, he was always quick to ask how my son was playing and equally quick to tell me how you boys were doing. And when you switched to golf, he very proudly had to tell me that you were out driving and scoring better than him. We work hard at what we do; I only hope Mike got a little time to enjoy himself!
BOB BRAND October 6, 2019
What a shock to learn of Mike�s death. I knew Mike as a friend and colleague and his early passing is so, so sad. I fondly remember enjoying skiing with Mike and some other dentists. And eating too ! He was a gourmet chef. I had my first soft shell crab at Mike and Marie�s home. I think of him every time I make crabs following his method exactly. But mostly I enjoyed just talking with Mike. He will be greatly missed.
LARRY KAPLAN October 14, 2019
My sympathies to the Family of Dr. Lyons. I was a patient of Dr. Lyons for 30+ Years. Dr. Lyons was ever the professional, exceptional person, a true gentleman.
He so wanted to retire to Florida, we spoke about Florida and the smile on his face was catching.
Dr. Lyons treated everyone with the utmost respect, my Mother in her 80�s trusted and respected Dr. Lyons as one of our Family.
My the Lyons Family heal with time, good memories knowing how the world viewed a true honest gentleman
JOHN LAURENT December 16, 2019
Belated condolences to the Lyons family. Mike was a wonderful gentleman and competitor. We were members of a twice victorious Albany Country Club team to advance to the now defunct �Oldsmobile Scramble� regional finals. Will never forget him holing a 30 foot putt on 18 to allow us to advance.
More recently I ran in to Mike at Gore Mt. and nearly killed myself chasing him down the black diamond trails at Gore.
Farewell to a Gentleman.
