Not sure what to say?

How quick the passage of a year. How many additional "empty chairs." But on this day, this annual reminder, our memories turn once again to Bert, his warmth, his ready smile, but most of all our celebration and thanks for the great influence for good especially throughout the continent of Africa.

Bert Tyson became a new friend for two years. I enjoyed his greetings, chatting, and presence. His missions and education career for Christ became a fresh encouragement to me and others around us. Reading his obituary broadened my sense of his precious family. Then for almost a year of COVID separation, I missed his presence and friendship. Thanks be to the Lord for the life and ministry of Dr. Tyson, and may his memory ennoble the family generation to come.

It was always a special treat and honor to visit with Bert, usually over food at table or waiting for Social Hour on Tuesday’s.
His genuine and ready smile, and especially his “micrographia” as he kept meticulous notes to help identify fellow residents, was legend!
He lives on through his Bible literacy program, the material translated into some 35 African dialects!
