View all 8 ReflectionsRobert Lyons was my maternal Grandfather. I never met him. My mother was about 5 when he died.
He died a few days before the beginning of the Depression. His death devastated the Lyons family.
My Mother and her brother were raised by my Grandmother and my Grandmother's parents after his death. It was not an easy time for any of them. I deeply loved my grandmother. I wish I had asked her more about her Robert. My Mother did not talk about him. So much I wish I knew now. I do know that he looked a lot like my son who is 37 now, seven years older than Robert when he passed. I hope he was a fine, loving, intelligent man.
