I received this sad information earlier today.

It is with regret to advise that Monsignor "Tiger" Lyons passed away peacefully at St Joseph's Home, Northcote, Victoria yesterday, (just a few weeks short of his 90th birthday). He had been in care for some years. His funeral Mass will be at St Patrick's Cathedral, Melbourne on Thursday 8th September commencing at 1400. He will be buried in the Priest's Crypt at the Melbourne General Cemetery after the Mass concludes.

Mons. Lyons was appointed as a Chaplain in the RANR in February 1957 from St Columba's Church, Elwood and later transferred to the RAN on the 23rd June 1958. He served for twenty one years and retired from the RAN as a Principal Chaplain (RC). Mons. Lyons served in HMAS Lonsdale, Albatross, Cerberus, Penguin, Creswell, Kuttabul,Watson, Leeuwin, Melbourne, Sydney, Supply, Stalwart, Derwent , Queenborough as well as on the staffs of the Fleet Commander as the Fleet Chaplain and the Naval Support Commander as the Command Chaplain.

His Honours and Awards included being appointed as a Member of the Order of Australia, Vietnam Medal, Australian Active Service Medal with Clasp Vietnam, Australian Service Medal with Clasp FESR, Defence Force Service Medal and the National Medal. When he retired from the RAN, he always retained a great interest in the Navy, its people and the wider Navy family. ...

He was serving in MELBOURNE at the time of the Melbourne/Voyager collision.
