Richard TYLER Obituary

Richard employed me in 1997 and I had the great good fortune to work with the team at Johnsonville Medical Centre for several years and had the privilege of watching Richard´s hard work dedicated for his patients. I of course also worked with Julia and Sarah. I´m a devastated to hear of his passing. The world is definitely poorer.
Sending love to Julia and family at such a sad time.

To Julia and family. Sending all our love and strength to you all today. You are in our thoughts.
Kathryn & Gillian

Dear Julia - I am thinking of you and your family - sending warm and supportive thoughts to you all. I worked quite closely with Richard in the early days of organised general practice He was astute and forward thinking, and good humoured even in some challenging situations. I very much respected Richard and learned a lot about governance from him. I will remember him as active and involved in everything he did. I am so sorry for your loss. Lynn McBain

Dear Julia - Words cannot express the tragedy you have suffered. My thoughts are with you. Although I have not seen either of you for some years, I was in the past on a couple of committees with Richard. You will remember the great medical group skiing holidays we had in Wanaka/Cardrona, when you were both there.
Please accept my condolences and pass them on to your children and grandchildren. All my best wishes - Tom Farrar

So sorry to hear of Richard´s death. We played squash frequently at Khandallah years ago. A great fair minded competitor who usually outlasted me.

Richard was our family doctor for nearly 40 years and delivered our youngest son. He was a diligent doctor who was direct and forthright but with a keen sense of humour. He enjoyed sharing travel stories. He will be sorely missed. My condolences to Julia and family on this huge loss.

Shocked to hear of this incident. Richard was our Doctor for 30 Years. Always straight to the Point, no
time wasting. Did excellent work for our community and much respected. RIP Great Doctor Richard

My deepest sympathies for such a tragic loss. Will miss his presence at our bridge group but retain fond memories.

On behalf of Janet Heaver ( now 90) a patient. Deepest sympathy to his family and work colleagues. Richard always made me laugh after treating sun spots on my face - he would say "there you are all beautiful again". A very nice man. May he Rest in Peace

Dear Julia,
I am so sad to hear Richard has died.
He was a lovely, kind, vibrant man whose
company I always enjoyed.
Sending you and your family lots of love,
Best wishes
Diana

I send my love to you and your family.
Best wishes and love,
Diana

Sending my condolences to Julia and Family. I have many fond memories of you both as our family GPs since the late 70s. RIP
Richard.

You don´t know me but many many ago we were next door neighbours of the Tyler family in High Street, Rotorua. I was about 19 when we moved to Hamilton, I used to babysit Richard and Susan. I knew Richard was a Dr like his Dad Ross but didn´t know where he was in the world. We were 49 High Street and they were 47. My very sincere condolences to all the family. My maiden name was Marie Ion. Susan may or may not remember me. Marie Knight.

A great loss to us all, many fond memories as my doctor and delivered my son.
May he RIP

Julia: I cannot imagine the shock and horror you must be feeling. I clearly remember how close you were when we lived on Castle Street all those years ago, and since then, you have built your lives as a unit in all possible ways. You are very much in my thoughts. We live near Christchurch, close-ish to the state highway south. If you are ever down this way, you are welcome to call in. Kind regards, Betsy
