Tyo left us with a legacy of humour, optimism, loyalty and an unquenchable zest for life that has left an indelible mark on everyone who knew him and loved him. Whether it be those private moments with his wife, or the frequent visits to his second home of his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren, or those usual weekend limes with his brothers, sisters and friends, all of us who where in his presence and touched by his laughter, compassion and loyalty will forever miss the man who filled our lives with beauty and warmth and who will never be replaced or forgotten in our hearts.
