Bob Lyons was so much more than a friend. Always there with a word of encouragement, gentle advice, or quiet wisdom.
He never lost his love for a bit of divilment and was always mad for the trad 🎶

Heartfelt condolences to Martina and Geraldine at this terribly sad time.

Rest in peace, Uncle Bob ❤️
