Bartlett Tyler, Jr.

Barlett "Buzz" Tyler, Jr., 79 of Fort Myers Beach, Florida died Thursday evening, January 11, 2007, at the Hope Hospice in Ft. Myers Beach.

Mr. Tyler was born on August 9, 1927, in Boston, Massachusetts. He lived the majority of his life in Lorain Ohio. He was a 1946 graduate of Lorain High School and in 1950 graduated from Ohio University School Of Journalism.

He was the sales manager for the Lorain Broadcasting Co.-WEOL radio and served on the Board of Directors of that company for several years. After moving to Fort Myers Beach permanently in 1994, he handled membership sales for the Greater Fort Myers Beach Area Chamber of Commerce.

Mr. Tyler was a member of the Chapel By The Sea in Fort Myers Beach.

Beyond loving work itself, Mr. Tyler enjoyed getting to know the local business owners in the cities where he lived. He built many friendships that way and was happy to play a role in their successes. He was an avid sports fan. He supported his team by wearing his Cleveland Indians cap everywhere he went in Fort Myers Beach.

While living in Lorain, he was a board member on the former Lorain YMCA and was an active member of the Northminster United Presbyterian Church (now the Heritage Presbyterian Church).

He is survived by his wife Janet (nee Pobst) of Fort Myers Beach, daughters, Anne Elliott of New York City, NY, Jane Decker of Needham, Massachusetts, Amy Gaag of Baltimore Maryland, 5 grandchildren, sister Barbara Doane of Ft. Myers Beach and nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents Bartlett and Margaret (nee Heggie) Tyler, Sr.

Memorial Services will be held on Saturday, June 16, 2007, at 11:00 AM in the Heritage Presbyterian Church, 515 N. Leavitt Road, Amherst with Rev. James E. Smucker, pastor, officiating.

Burial was in Elmwood Cemetery in Lorain, OH.

The family suggest that memorial contributions may be made to the Heritage Presbyterian Church, 515 N. Leavitt Road, Amherst, Ohio 44001.

Schwartz, Spence, Boyer & Cool Home For Funerals, 1124 W. 5th Street, Lorain, Ohio is handling the arrangements.

Buzz your smile would light up the room and make everyone feel better. I know you will be missed. To Janet and the family, it was a pleasure to meet you and my prayers go out to you!

I'm sorry to hear of Buzz's death. He was always very friendly at the bank. Twice, he reported to our financial specialist that I had shown excellent customer service to him. I appreciated him taking the time to report my service. He was a pleasure to have as a customer.

I wanted to extended my deepest sympathy to the family on the loss of Mr. Tyler. I was very shocked to read this in the newspaper the other day. I do not know anyone's address to send a card, so I hope this will get to you.

You are in my thoughts and prayers and I hope to see you when you have the memorial service here in Lorain.

God Bless,
Michele Bratton Madera
