Tyrone,you were an inspiration to all veterans who want to give some of their time helping veterans and the community at large.You didn't propose projects that only benefited veterans. You spent so much of your life organizing activities that benefited many people. I will always think of the inspiration you passed on to so many people who needed help in every day life.
From the Dott family to yours,"May the peace of Christ be with you always.

"It is more blessed to give than to receive." My dear friend, this phrase truly describes the way you lived your life. You will truly be missed.

I met Tyrone when I installed his computer and provided with him with training on its use.
Though we only knew each other for 16 hours…
I met a warrior with a new challenge; to help as many other Veterans as possible.
Rest well.

It isn't often an individual comes into your life whose quiet nature conceals the passion he holds for his fellow man. Whose drive is unrelentless when there is a need to be fulfilled or a mission to be accomplished that will make some ones life a little more comfortable or easier to bear. A man's man and a friends friend.
Thanks for all you've done for me personally and for Philadelphia Stand Down.We miss you already!

Tyrone,
Even though we only knew you for a short time you made a wonderful impression on us, we will always remember you. You went "above and beyond" to connect me with my father's (Sgt. Glenn H. English Jr.) friends and to help me understand my loss. You treated us like family and for that Tyrone, we will never forget your kindness. You, your wife and children will always be in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

Kathy and Family,
We can't know why some things happen...but we can know that Love and beautiful memories outlast the pain of grief. And we can know that there's a place inside the heart where love lives always...and where nothing beautiful can ever be forgotten.If I"ve learned anything down through the years,it's that nothing beautiful in this world is ever really lost...Those we cherish will always live on in memory.

Ty, you were a superb Sky Soldier, a courageous leader. For this you have my utmost respect and admiration. When your time came, Paratrooper that you were, you Stood Up, Hooked Up, Stood in the Door and when the green light came on you jumped to the greatest LZ of all, God's Landing Zone. May God bless you and keep you.

Do not stand on my grave and weep,
I am not there...I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow...
I am the diamond glints on snow...
I am the sunshine on ripened grain...
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you waken in the mornings's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush.
Of gentle birds in circling flight...
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry-
I am not there... I did not die...
Take care our Christmas elf.
God speed.
