My father died on May 22, three days after his 90th birthday. I’m sure I will write more about him and his passing, but in the meantime, here is the obituary David Hencke wrote for The Guardian.

Mathew Lyons 
Just saw this, I am so sorry for your loss.
Matthew,
Thank you for sharing something so personal with us. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family.
I am looking forward to reading more from you about your father. He sounds like a great role model, a man willing to stand and speak for others in spite of possible personal loss. You were blessed to have a dad like that.
I’m very sorry to hear this news, Matthew. What a good innings! My heart goes out to you and your family.
