James J. Lyons

May 21, 1945 — July 9, 2020

James Joseph Lyons son of Elizabeth and James Joseph Lyons born May 21, 1945.

Beloved husband to Kathleen and father to Richard, James and Lisa. Grandfather to Tyler Lyons, Brandon Lyons, Shelby Lyons, Myla Lyons, Chiara D’Angelo, Cole D’Angelo, Dean D’Angelo and James McKenne.

James lived his life to the fullest and filled his days with his many interests inspiring his children with his zest for life and his fearlessness. He was
a skydiving instructor who had over 10,000 jumps, an avid pilot and skeet shooter. He was dedicated to his career as a mechanical engineer working at Allen Avionics for over 45 years until the Company closed at which point he began his retirement and started his own consulting practice.

His entrepreneurial spirit resonated in all his hobbies, tinkering, building, inventing and refurbishing tools and gadgets that kept him busy in retirement and made his tax returns all the more challenging.

He will he missed and loved by those he left behind.
