Tyler's former qb coach (Argo) Greg Barton died in Portland in 2017. He had Alzheimer's. My wife, Tyler & I went to see him about 3 months before he passed away. He recognized Tyler but couldn't remember who he was though you could tell he was trying to figure where he had known my son from. We visited with Greg & his wife Heather for a couple of hours. Greg sat on his sofa quietly smiling but not talking. Didn't say a word. When we were leaving & saying our goodbyes we kind of knew the end was coming soon for Greg. As Tyler turned to leave, Greg stopped him & said, "If you need anything. Any help to get a scholarship, please let me know". Tyler had already graduated from SFU two years earlier. Tyler said, "Alright Coach, I will. Thank you". That was the last conversation those two ever had. The Old Coach inside Greg came to life one last time.
