While I never had the pleasure meeting Mr. Tyo, I worked with his wife Jean and his daughter Michelle. What a wonderful family he has. You are in my thoughts.

Uncle Malcolm was always one of my favorite uncles. I remember one time he took my sister Janet and I to see a movie. That may not sound like a big deal now days, but it was a rare thing for us to go to a movie or have any time alone with a parent or an adult relative. Through the years he always acknowledged me when he saw me, too. He was interested in what I had to say. That is a quality I treasure in other people. He made a little insignificant girl feel welcome and cherished. He was a good man and will be missed.
