Survivors include daughters San Juana and Argelia Lira, son, Tomas Lira Jr., ex-wife Antonia Perez Lira, a special niece Ramona Rodriguez, a brother Guadalupe Lira and wife Mary Lou of Brady, several other nieces and nephews and extended family.

We also want to thank our friends from Verizon and Red Wing Shoe Company that gave us so much support and love during this time.
