Raymond Tye

Dear Papa,

I constantly think about you. I always wonder whether you're looking down on me with pride. There are days where I question whether I am doing the right thing and then there are days when I know you're looking down and smiling at me. Those are the best days. I miss you.

Dear Randy and family.

What a loss to you and the world. But, what a blessing his life was! I so enjoyed seeing you and your dad at Fenway Community Health events. Your family’s support of Fenway alone is so generous. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

It was a priviledge to know Mr. Tye. When I told him of an Ethiopian boy in need of heart surgery, he immediately said he would pay for the operation. That was seven years ago, today Samuel Tsegaye is a big strong young man about to finish his studies at the university in Addis Ababa. Mr. Tye saved this boys life. His immediate and extended family is appreciative of Mr. Tye's kindness, For all of them I say a final thank you. Erv Hoffart

Dear Tye Family,

Boston and her citizens lost two giant men on the same day last week with the passing of Ray Tye and Michael Bare. I don't know if they ever met or even knew of one another but here were two men of different generations and backgrounds who shared the same world view. Mr. Tye, a Jewish-American, and Mr. Bare, an Irish-American, were humanitarians of the first order. Their philanthropy of spirit and selflessness touched everyone who was fortunate enough to know them. Perhaps their strongest legacy is reflected in the faces of the many who did not have any idea who they were but whose lives were made better because Ray and Mike cared so much for their community and neighbors. Both bridged racial and cultural divides through the goodness in their hearts. The greatest tribute we can pay to these wonderful men is for each of us reach out to people in need and tell them "I am going to help you."

Yours truly,

All of my condolences go out to the Tye Family. His generosity through his Medical Foundation have made such an impact in so many lives.

What a loss for the children of the world. He had unlimited compassion for those who suffered. All of us at International Hospital for Children were proud to have worked with him to carry out his mission in life at the Ray Tye Medical Aid Foundation. We will miss him. Susan Rickman
