  13. Marjorie and Luke Powell

    Dear Marilyn,

    We were so sorry to read about Lyman. It’s not very long since we were square dancing in Wileville. While he seemed a little frail he was always full of spirit, fun and the joy of life– and hated to sit out of a dance. I’m glad we managed to have those last four good dances before the club closed so we can all remember Lyman in such a positive way.

    You are in our thoughts.

    Marjorie and Luke

    Marilyn and family, As you know, I lived across the road from the Huskins house. Lyman was a significant part of my youth – catching baseball, checking rabbit snares and making hay for the winters. Later he taught how to read a surveyors level rod. Last summer he, my brother Dan and I walked around our house rembering what used to be. We will miss him.

  26. Caitlin & Chad Nickerson

    We were so sorry to hear of Lyman’s passing. I have so many great memories of Lyman that span my whole life. One that sticks out in my mind was Lyman occasionally joining friends and I playing road hockey in his driveway when I was a teenager. I think he laughed the majority of the time playing.
    More recently, he spent some time in the woods with Chad, showing him some hunting and snaring spots that Lyman and my grandfather had both used in the past, and allowing him to hunt on his land.

    I’m glad my kids got the opportunity to have Lyman as a neighbour over the past few months. Liam, especially, thought of Lyman more as a friend than just a neighbour. You’re in our thoughts Marilyn, Trish, Larry and family.

    Marilyn & Family.
    I was saddened to hear of Lyman’s passing. I remember first meeting you and Lyman in 1964 while I was boarding at you parent’s home and attending Survey School and still have fond memories of those early meetings. I remember Lyman’s infectious smile and the stimulating conversation we used to have about the surveying profession and life in general.

    We met occasionally over the years and his smile and temperment was always the same. He was a fine gentleman and I always enjoyed his company.

    My sincere condolences to you and your family and I will remember you all in my thoughts and prayers.
