Lambert Lyons-montgomery ’39

Buzz died July 18, 2006, at his home in Essex, Mass.

In the first years after graduation, Buzz took his mathematical skills to a number of companies, among them Aetna Life, Sylvania, and General Motors. Then for 25 years he was a civil servant in the Bureau of Mines of the Department of the Interior, first as a mathematician, and finally as a computer systems analyst. Both he and his wife, Ruth Mears, a registered nurse, served in World War II and the Korean conflict. They were married in 1953 in the University Chapel on Ruth’s parents’ 39th anniversary. On subsequent wedding anniversaries they christened each of their children at the same spot in the University Chapel. Buzz was very active in the American Legion, serving in its honor guard at Arlington National Cemetery.

Buzz is survived by Ruth; their children, Harriet-Ellen, Susan Marie, and John Jerome; and nine grandchildren. We offer them our sincere sympathy.
