There’s so many things that I can say about this man that I don’t even know where to begin. But this is where I will start; Moose was an amazing man and grandfather. Your light will truly be missed. You were the true definition of a superhero always there when anyone was in need. I’m sending my condolences on behalf of the Lyons family. Where you have truly left a staple in our family. So this is not goodbye, It is a simple See you later. Love your daughter Brandy
