Dick
Lyon, the former Mayor of Oceanside passed away last weekend. Mayor Lyon led an
amazing life and was deeply involved in his community. The best way to learn
about this talented man might be to hear about his remarkable life in his own
words.

I
often bumped into Mayor Lyon when I was surfing or bodyboarding in front of his
house. When he was in his 70’s I would often see him returning from an Ocean
swim from far out past the pier. He was
one of a kind and will be missed.
