He started his service during World War II and was among the first troops to enter Japan after the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had been destroyed by those two atomic bombs.
The AP story relayed by Military Times barely does him justice.

RIP, Warrior.
Rest in peace, thank you for your service to our wonderful nation. Your honorable duty is remembered and appreciated. God bless your soul and the lives and souls of your family. You are with the Lord now, your work is done.
Rest In Peace, Brother.
Rest in peace Admiral Lyon. They don’t make ’em like you often Sir.
Requiem in Pace, Sir.
There is a two hour special tonight on History Channel, 1900, covering the history of the Navy SEALs. It’s 1900 CST. Gonna be watching.
That’s a lot of life crammed into one lifetime.
Rest In Peace Sir. An amazing career of service. I’ve read of his support of his troops and how he would stand between them and the higher ups. Forever Grateful…
