BRIAN FERGUS TYSON, beloved husband of the late Jill Tyson, passed away in Lethbridge on Monday, March 5th, 2018, at the age of 84 years.

Funeral arrangements will be announced once completed.

My deepest condolences to the family of Dr. Tyson. He was the Chair of the English department during the time that I was in undergraduate and later when I lectured there for several years. I recall often his wonderful lectures on Samuel Beckett when I took a drama course from him. He was thoughtful, intelligent and kind. His wonderful stories about cats were often the hit of informal suppers. I shall miss him.

Thinking today of Brian's family and friends who loved him so much. For my part, Brian and Jill created eagle's wings that have protected and inspired me for years. Brian's humour, profound knowledge and neverending kindness astound me. I see him now at peace and I hope that in some way he is with his beloved Jill. May the light of God shine on you forever my courageous friend.

I am so sorry for your loss. I was Brian's pharmacist and had a deep respect for him. After Jill passed away I offered him my meager condolences. I will never forget his response. He said the sweetest eulogy I have ever heard for his beloved wife. He expressed that they had lived a full and wonderful life together and that he was grateful for the time they had together. His words touched my heart, and so did his example.

I'm so sorry to hear of Brian's passing; he was a wonderful man and colleague in the Department of English at U of L. He encouraged me in publishing, and I always enjoyed meeting him at plays at the university. He will be sorely missed.
