THE PAL HAWKS FOOTBALL AND PAL ASTRO'S BASEBALL FAMILY LOST OUR LONGTIME PRESIDENT ON JULY 4, 2016 WHEN RON LYONS PASSED AWAY. FOR OVER 40 YEARS INCLUDING OVER 30 YEARS AS A YOUTH COACH, RON DEDICATED HIS LIFE TO THE YOUTH OF ANNAPOLIS MAKING SURE KIDS HAD A PLACE TO PARTICIPATE IN FOOTBALL, CHEERLEADING, AND BASEBALL AND PREVIOUSLY SOCCER AND LACROSSE. RON WILL BE MISSED BY ALL THAT EVER WORE A PAL JERSEY!

HERE IS RON'S OBITUARY.

AND HERE IS AN ARTICLE FROM 2008- THE SAME YEAR THAT ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY DEDICATED THE FOOTBALL FIELD AT PAL PARK TO RON AND HIS WIFE RUTH LYONS. RUTH HAS ALSO TIRELESSLY DEDICATED DECADES OF SERVICE TO THE PAL ORGANIZATION. PLEASE KEEP RUTH, THEIR CHILDREN RON JR AND HELEN AND ALL OF THEIR FAMILY AND THE ENTIRE PAL FAMILY IN YOUR PRAYERS DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME. HERE IS A PHOTO FROM THE 2008 FIELD DEDICATION.

REST IN PEACE RON! YOU EARNED YOUR PLACE IN HEAVEN!!
