Born on a crisp winter morning, February 28, 1939, Nelson Lyon emerged into the world, a unique and multifaceted individual, with a profound affinity for creative expression and the captivating art of performance. The charming town of Troy Hills, nestled in the heart of New Jersey, United States of America, served as the backdrop for his arrival, a place that would later influence and shape the trajectory of his remarkable life.
Noted thespian and wordsmith, Lyon, etched an indelible imprint on the vast expanse of the entertainment industry, leaving behind a legacy replete with an array of remarkable creative endeavors, with his most celebrated and enduring works being the 1971 cinematic masterpiece "The Telephone Book", the 1977 theatrical production "The Baron", and his stint as a cherished cast member on the illustrious and beloved television program "Saturday Night Live" in the year 1975.
Lyon's personal sphere was characterized by an unwavering commitment to his long-term partner, Jill, with whom he shared a deeply fulfilling and harmonious existence, marked by an abundance of love, mutual respect, and a profound sense of companionship.
It is with profound sorrow that we mark the passing of Lyon, whose mortal coil was laid to rest on the seventeenth day of July, two thousand and twelve, in the vibrant city of Los Angeles, situated in the state of California, within the United States of America, thereby leaving behind a lasting legacy that will be forever treasured and perpetually remembered.
