(THE IMPRESSIONIST)
Tyrrell leaves to mourn his nephew Chandran; niece Ramyamali; grand-niece Selinka and his beloved pussy cats.

I only just found out news of his passing almost a year later. I had emailed him recently only to get a bounce. I am saddened to hear of this. Tyrrell and Doreen were close family friends with our Mom. And his photography and travels were an inspiration. When there is a celebration of life, if someone could comment here on the details as our family would try to attend. My condolences to the extended family from the family of Suzanna Dong - Posted by: Raz Dong (Family friend) on: Sep 06, 2022

For many years while I volunteered at Deer Lodge in the gift shop we used to discuss art, writing and photography. I was going through my rolodex and realized I hadn't spoken to him for far too long. I'm deeply saddened. - Posted by: John Oross (Friend ) on: Dec 30, 2021

So sad to see Tyrell's obituary. We last spoke a few months ago after Doreen passed away. Tyrell was always a consummate gentleman. Wonderful memories of accompanying him on photo shoots when he tried to teach me the art of photography, and of visiting with them in their home. I take comfort in knowing that Tyrell and Doreen are together again. - Posted by: Patricia Simcoe-Rosenbaum (Friend) on: Oct 11, 2021
