James E.Tylka

It was with great sadness that I heard of the passing of James Tylka from this life, but also with great rejoicing that James now resides in the arms of the Lord for eternity. I had the great joy and honor to be the music teacher of James and his wonderful siblings Eddie, Stephan, and Sarah. The children of Ed and Kathy Tylka were some of the finest and most well-mannered students that I ever taught in 40 years as an educator, and James was truly the kindest young man that I ever encountered as a student. When he would come into the classroom with his angelic smile, i truly believe I was seeing the face of Christ in the face of James. Always kind, he will always be remembered. My deepest sympathy and prayers are extended to his entire family. May James rest in God's eternal peace! --Dr. Eugene M. Dangelo, Greensburg, Pa.
