"Robert Henry Lyons Sr. lived alone in the house until 1962 when his sister Anne moved in with him. When he became sick, he went into a nursing home in Riverhead where he died in 1968, July 27th, at age 85. He was buried alonside Mary in the cemetery in back of the house. Robb was waked ast Robertaccio's in Patchogue and allthe family and friends came back to his house for lunch after the funeral. Sadie Rutkowski (Fran's sister-in law) made a sour cream coffee cake. Art Waldron decided he wanted that cake for himself and hid it in the pantry. Betty and Chet Arthur found the cake and hid it outside in someone's car. Anna saw them do this and she and a few others stole the cake from that car and hid it in another car. This happened a couple of times and the cake ended up in the minister's car (Rev. Gray) and it went home with him. This was in no way disrespectful to Robb. He would have loved every moment of the foolish fun people always had when they were in that house."
