I always think of PT  as  a very giving and Caring person. You first, him last.

Hard to believe it's been 2 years....

He was/is the true definition of what a Husband, Father and Man should be.  

I often find myself reflecting on conversations we had about family, finances, politics and of course food (especially sweets).

Those discussions mean more and more to me as time passes.

I just want to say thank you for taking the time to bless me with so many jewels of knowledge, wisdom and experience; and if can be half the man you were I will be a great one...

I had no idea your husband passed away Geraldine. I am so very sorry for your lost. May God  keep you in heaven smile upon you and your family.

To all the Tyrance Family who grieves this loss...a young,  beloved child of God. May music await him in paradise.

Uncle Patrick will be truly missed.  From my earlies memories, he was a quiet but strong presence.  As I grew into adulthood and as my children grew, Uncle Pat always offered words of encouragement and wisdom.  His homegoing celebration was just that - a celebration of the life of a man whose love for the Lord, his family and friends was so genuine and obvious.  I know our Heavenly Father continues to comfort the family and that weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.  Rest in Jesus, Uncle Patrick.  We'll see you in glory.

" Mr Tyrance has been an inspiration to my family, he will surely be miss. May God bless Mother Tyrance and his children while going thru these times."

Words connot describe the loss that is felt by me and my family with the passing of Pat. We will miss him dearly. We wish his family the best with the greatest respect. Harold Edelman and Family

In revisiting this guest book when I receive e-notice ... reading other people's comments is aid in grief. Also set me to again think of how there are men and women like Patrick that never are largely recognized for their greatness . . . but I do believe receive crown in heaven for their love in action here.

Geraldine,I just do not have words to express how sad and heart broken I was when you call to tell me Pat had gone home to be with the Lord.He is in a better place now. I will always be here for you and praying for you and the family.

To my classmate and friend, Geraldine:
(In the loss of your dear husband, Patrick)  
You've lost a vital member of your family, and the burden of your grief is much to bear. We are a people who together can carry any weight we have had to share, so I am sending you this note with deep affection, and great sorrow that the one you love is gone, I hope you will accept my heartfelt sympathy, and the love and strength you will need to carry on.  May the Lord forever bless you and your family. (I will be in touch with you)

I met Patrick at ECSU in 1964.We were freshmen. He was, without a doubt, one of the nicest guys  in the world. Years after we both had graduated from college I heard that he and his lovely wife had moved out west.RIP,Patrick.

I was sadden by the news of the homegoing of popa T. He has been such a blessing to me and others. He will be truely missed. 

Love you moma T.

I was very saddened to hear about your loss.  Patrick was a patient every nurse hopes to get.  It was my great privilege taking care of him.

Mr. Tyrance was a very special person in my life. He became the grandfather I never knew. He taught me many moral lessons. I miss the talks we would have at his house and church. He always was encouraging me to learn, work hard, and be a leader. Sometimes I wanted to give up, but he would always inspire me to keep working hard. I will cherish all the beautiful memories I have of him forever. When things start getting tough or difficult, I will remember him saying, "Tara, you can do it." I thank God for blessing me with his presence in my life.  
With all my love, 
                   Tara

We are saddened to hear about Mr. Tyrance's death. We will always hold beautiful memories in our hearts.
Mrs. Tyrance, be assured that we are very close to you in thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers are with your family.  Worked at the FNB in Omaha with Chinita.

My heartfelt sympathy to the family of Patrick Tyrance, whose obituary I read in yesterday's World Herald.  He was an inspiring man even while he was very sick.  I am so sad at his passing, but also glad I had a chance to meet him, and his family, while I was working at Methodist hospital.  His loss is great, but his influence is greater.  God bless.

To the family of Patrick Tyrance. Patrick was a colleague/friend in Baltimore and Omaha. My wife Helen and I are sorry for your lost. Patrick was a good person and a solid friend. We will have you all in our prayers.

Patrick Tyrance Family

My deepest sympathy for your loss.  Way too early for Patrick to go but the Lord must have had other needs for his service.  Patrick was a well respected member of the management team at the Omaha Works (Western Electric) and helped mentor many employees.  
Not very outspoken, but rock solid and a positive influence to all around him.  He came to us from Baltimore when the plant closed, and was an asset to us and the Huskers.  With his family, lovely wife Geraldine, daughter Chinita and future Husker Standout , Patrick jr,  we were all blessed that he decided to accept the transfer, even though it was tough. on the family.
He will be missed by all, but the Positive Legacy he left, will not be forgotten.
Patrick, enjoy your well deserved place with the Lord.

Jim

We are sorry for your loss but happy that Patrick Sr. is now with the Lord. He was a very kind gentle man and always a joy to see. From a brother and sister in Christ - God's Peace...

Patrick and Family,  We are so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing... May you all be comforted by his example and your memories of him.  God Bless you all.

As a childhood friend of Chinita, it was a privilege to reconnect with Mr. T. a few years ago.  I loved hearing his world views on life as they were always Biblically based.  He was a man of wisdom, encouragement, and knowledge.  I giggled often at his type 'A' ways,- couldn't get anything past him...stil!!!  His fight and Mrs.'s T.'s grace continues to inspire so many.  May God comfort you in the days to come.  You have finished well.

Geraldine, I am so sorry for your loss. Patrick was a good friend when I work in Baltimore and Omaha. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God continue to comfort, strengthen and cover you and your family with His love.

My mother worked with Mr. Tyrance at AT&T, Norma Korff. She passed away a few years ago, but would want to let everyone know how much she enjoyed knowing Mr. Tyrance. Both my mother and father spoke very highly of Mr. Tyrance, talking about what a kind, caring, and genuine person he was. From my family to yours - many prayers and blessings to the Tyrance family.

Patrick is one of the finest men I've known and worked for. Anyone that would permit . . . he edified. I benefited in knowing him in both Baltimore and Omaha. Edwin Bullock (Omaha NE)
