Patrick Tierney Obituary
In 1971 he moved to Salt Lake City where he taught art history at the University of Utah until 1985 when he retired as Professor Emeritus. Although living in Utah, he found great satisfaction as the Art Director for the Japanese Friendship Garden at Balboa Park in San Diego, California and commuted there frequently. After his retirement from the University of Utah he continued to teach classes for the OSHER Life Long Learning program at the University of Utah. His great love was to teach and lead tours focusing on art history throughout Asia and his beloved Japan until 2010.
He is survived by his son, Stephen Tierney; and many loving family members and friends. A private service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers please make an Ikebana arrangement for your home or make a donation to a charity of your choice. Online guestbook and extended obituary available at: www.HolbrookMortuary.com

Dear Steve,
It was a pleasure for me as a barber to have your Dad as a long time, loyal customer. He was a living encyclopedia especially on Japanese art, history, and language. He shared with me his many stories about his beloved trips to Japan, and the on-going progress of the Japan Friendship Garden at Balboa Park in San Diego. Ten years ago, my wife and I had the pleasure of your father giving us a personal tour of the garden showing his love and devotion to that beautiful place. My sincere sympathy to you on the loss of your father. He was a great man.
Sincerely,
Bob Ithurralde

During Lennox' 100th year on earth, a group of his friends celebrated what was termed "Soup & Saga with Lennox." We would share some food, and sit back and enjoy his precious, kind, and loving spirit. I am grateful to have been part of those celebrations. Because of the many, many lives he touched, his spirit will live on for a long, long time.
