Sad news about the death of Jim Lyons
It is with great regret that we have to inform you that we just received word from Jim Lyons' daughter, Jayne, that he died on the evening of Tuesday 10th July 2012. We will pass on more details re the funeral etc. as soon as we receive them. I have written to Jayne and asked her to pass on sincere condolences to her mum, Betty, and to her family from all members of our Association.
Jim served in the Bermuda Police Force from 1960 – 1966, mainly in Traffic, and he was an outstanding sportsman who represented Bermuda internationally at both cricket and football. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
Jim kindly wrote an article for our “Then and Now” column in April this year. CLICK HERE to read the article.
Betty Lyons has been in touch with us and advised that Jim’s funeral will take place at Christ Church, Coatham Road, Redcar, on Friday 20th July, followed by cremation. Fortunately, Betty has a great family and circle of friends around her at this very difficult time. If anyone would like Betty’s email or home address you can contact us at info@expobermuda.com
