JAMES MURRAY LYON On November 12, 2004 James Murray Lyon of Crestline, CA (formerly of Winnipeg) passed away after a lengthy and courageous battle with a critical heart condition. Murray was born in Winnipeg and educated at John M. King, General Wolfe, Gordon Bell and St. Pauls College. His early working place was Imperial Oil Ltd. in Winnipeg where he met and married his lifetime soulmate Joyce Kerr. They later moved to California where he established a successful business career and settled until the present time. Murray is survived by his devoted wife Joyce (Kerr) son Jay (Stephanie) grandchildren, Madison and Alexandria. He was dearly loved and will be sadly missed by his sister Jill Schwan and husband Brian and family of California, sister Bronwyn and Tony Dyck and family of Sydney, BC; also survived by his sister-in-law Larcy and family. He was predeceased by his parents, Elizabeth and James Lyon; brother-in-law Laurie Kerr; uncle Bill Patterson. Also survived by aunts and cousins of Winnipeg and Ontario with whom he remained close throughout his life. Murrays wit and sense of humour brought happiness where he went. He could light up a room with just a smile. Forever in our hearts.
