“I shall pass through this world but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good things I can do, let me do it now…for I shall not pass this way again.” Truer words could not have been spoken any better of Art Lyons, a true Virginia Gentleman.
A graveside service will be held on Saturday, December 8 at 11:00am at Raleigh Memorial Park, 7209 Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh.
