           IN HONOR OF ASSOCIATE CIRCUIT JUDGE MICHAEL LYONS

                                 ______


                           HON. JERRY WELLER

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 11, 1995
  Mr. WELLER. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to honor the retirement 
of Associate Circuit Judge Michael Lyons, who has served Will County 
with distinction from 1975 to 1995.
  Born on August 11, 1916, Judge Lyons graduated from DePaul Law School 
and was licensed to practice law in 1940. He married Helen Glass in 
1945 and together they raised six children, Robert, Thomas, James, 
John, Joan, and Diane. He also served in the U.S. Army Counter 
Intelligence Corps during World War II.
  Judge Lyons' specialty is in the trial of personal injury cases in 
the State and Federal Courts throughout the United States.
  While Will County is losing a very dedicated and respected judge and 
public servant, I wish him the best of luck in retirement. His insight 
and knowledge of the law will be greatly missed.
