Sanford Shaler Tyler
Oct. 2, 1917 Nov. 29, 2007
Sanford Shaler Tyler of Winona born in Chelsea, Iowa on Oct. 2, 1917, son of Samuel Tyler and Emma Lou Shaler of Iowa, died at Winona Manor on Nov. 29, 2007. He married Eleanor Elaine Stevensen, daughter of Henry C. Stevensen and Laura I. Nikoley, on Dec. 25, 1941, in Rochester, Minn.
“Ty” graduated from Riceville High School, Riceville, Iowa, in 1935, and was class valedictorian with letters in football, basketball and track.
In 1940 he graduated from Luther College, Decorah, Iowa, with a bachelor of arts degree. In 1942, he studied at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago to serve as an Army ordnance inspector, a position he took in 1942 at Waterloo, Iowa, serving the war effort for two years. In 1946, he gained his commercial pilot license and flight instructor rating and ground instructor rating. In 1956, he graduated with a master of science in teaching math and science from Winona State College, Winona.
During the summer of 1958, he was awarded a Shell Fellowship from Shell Oil Companies at Stanford University, Stanford, Calif. Throughout the rest of his teaching career, he was a participant in numerous National Science Foundation Institutes.
In 1939-40, Ty was an instructor of photography at Luther College, Decorah, Iowa. Then, one of his most memorable jobs was held in the summer of 1940 at Haynes Photo Shops in Yellowstone National Park, Wyo., where he honed his photography skills and had great adventures to tell. The next two years he taught secondary math and science and coached basketball and baseball in north Iowa.
From 1943 to 1946, he taught secondary math and science, coached intramural hockey, and was an assistant coach of football, basketball and track in Detroit Lakes, Minn. During those summers he worked as a guide and piloted passenger launches and speed boats at a lakeside resort in Detroit Lakes. Later, he flew charters and instructed flight and ground school.
From 1947 to 1965, he was the ground school and flight instructor with the Winona Flying Service, Winona. Crop dusting by the seat of his pants was also in his repertoire. In 1946, he came to Winona High School, teaching secondary science and math. From 1948 to 1958, he coached ice hockey. Coach Tyler was the only hockey coach in Winona High history to coach his team into a berth in the state hockey tournament in 1951-52. In 1982, Ty retired from teaching in Winona and moved to Chester, Iowa, recently moving back to Winona.
Sanford was preceded in death by his parents; a sister, Lois of Casper, Wyo.; and brother, Warren of Schleswig, Iowa.
He is survived by his wife, Eleanor; daughters, Susan Stumpf of Lino Lakes, Minn., Sharon Kaczorowski of Winona, Sandra (John) Hess of Hermitage, Tenn., and Kristen Tyler of Bay Harbor Island, Fla.; grandchildren, Ted and Matt Stumpf, Joseph James (Kalene Engel) Kaczorowski, and Russell and Nicolina Heidi Hess; and great-grandchildren, Jordan and Kayla Jo Kaczorowski.
Ty served as commanding officer of Civil Air Patrol Squadron in Detroit Lakes and Winona. He was a charter member of the Winona Federation of Teachers and served as president. He served for six years as vice president of the Minnesota State Federation of Teachers. He was past president and charter member of the Hiawatha Valley Bird Club of Winona. For three years he banded birds for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Ty enjoyed camping, fishing, fly tying, photography, hunting deer and upland game, and flying small aircraft, including models. Life to Ty was always an adventure and anticipated eagerly.
Ty comes from a long line of explorers and adventurers and claims descent from Nathaniel Tyler, 1699-1744, shipwright of Haddam, who married Anne Arnold, daughter of Deacon Joseph and Susannah (Smith) Arnold; grandparent to Timothy Tyler, 1782-1842, who married Elizabeth “Betsy” Taylor. Timothy, born in Maine, moved his family to Richland County, Ohio, as the land in the west was opened, and farmed in Mansfield, Ohio. His son, Samuel Tyler, 1831-1896, married Mary Shults, both born in Ohio, and they moved to DeWitt County, Ill., in 1854. Their son, born in Illinois, Sanford M. Tyler, 1866-1952, married Elizabeth Marion Baity, who was of Irish extract. Sanford moved the family to Iowa in 1891. Their son, Samuel, 1890-1986, is the father of the deceased. Ty’s maternal lineage starts with Lt. Col. Andre Shaler of Alsace-Lorraine, France, who served as a bodyguard and secretary to the Emperor Napoleon. Andre and his wife, Marie King; son, Mathias; and daughter, Mary fled to America in 1820, passing as peasants until they reached a seaport and obtained passage to Pennsylvania. Mathias married Sarah Elizabeth Hartzell, who claims lineage to immigrant Daniel Bornemann, 1699-1768, of Switzerland. Their son, Jacob Wesley Shaler, 1850-1926, married Geraldine Britannia Roe, daughter of Amos Roe, 1813-1861, and Elizabeth Faust. Amos Roe and his brothers were groundbreakers in the early history of Iowa. They were 49ers searching for gold in California and built hunting lodges in Montana. The Fausts help settle Montgomery County, Ind., and many a tale of adventure and the dangers of life in those early years on the prairie were handed down.
Throughout his teaching career Ty touched many lives, teaching them his indomitable spirit.
Memorial services for Sanford will be at 2 p.m. today at Central Lutheran Church, Winona. The Rev. Michelle Rem will officiate. The family will greet friends after the memorial service in Grace Hall.
Services entrusted to Fawcett-Junker Funeral Home and Cremation Services of Winona.
