Isaiah 41:10 “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Robert (Bob) Tyler was born on a snowy, cold winter day, January 28^th, 1935 in Sandpoint, Idaho. He peacefully departed this earth for his Heavenly Home on January 25^th, 2022 at his home in Watson, Louisiana surrounded by his family. He loved the Lord and was ready to go Home to be with his Jesus. He was a Deacon at Amite Baptist Church and a driver in the bus ministry there for many years. It brought him great joy to bring the children to church on Sunday mornings. He was a welder by trade and a true craftsman in his field. He was married to his lovely wife Opal for 67 years and that love endured to the end of his life here on earth. They had five children together who were his pride and joy and he loved dearly.  That love was returned in full until he drew his last breath. He was adored by his grandchildren and great grandchildren alike who all just called him Pawpaw. That love was absolutely returned in full, overflowing measure. He was a friend to many and loved deeply by those who called him friend. He is survived by his wife Opal White Tyler. Two sons, Calvin Tyler and Donald Tyler. Two daughters, Kay Tyler and Robin Tyler Moore (David). Fourteen grandchildren, seventeen great grandchildren and one great, great grandchild.
