Saint Elmo Parlette Tyner

West Point, 1965

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Bob Frank on July 10, 2022:

Step had a way with words like few others. He used this skill to great effect as a leader, a teacher, a scriptwriter and, most recently, as the Class Scribe. There are many vignettes showing Step's unique personality. Some of these are captured in these eulogies. Others are documented in Bob Doughty's Class history, "Strength and Drive."

There are many words that help describe Step. To list a few: charming, witty, irreverent, respectful, satirical, humble, talented, loyal, beloved. Some of these labels may seem contradictory, but such was not the case with Step. He was a unicorn. We shall not see his likes again.

Well done! Be thou at peace, my friend.
