Laid to Rest: Saturday, July 10, 2021
Ronald Phillip Tyrrell, of Owings, MD passed away on Thursday, July 1, 2021 at the age of 65. Ronald, known to most as Ron or Ronnie, was born in Kittery, Maine. He was in a military family that found their way from Maine to Massachusetts, onto Virginia, finally to Maryland where he spent the majority of his life.
Ron was a fighter and overcame many health battles but was taken as a result of one of the hobbies he enjoyed. After learning about the depletion of bees, and the impact the diminishing population has on our environment, he took up beekeeping. On Sunday, June 13th Ron was checking on his bees with his wife when an aggressive hive attacked him. He sustained numerous bee stings which caused anaphylactic shock and ultimately resulted in cardiac arrest. The lack of oxygen while he was unconscious caused anoxic brain damage which took Ron s life in the early hours of the morning on July 1st.
Larry Edward Tomko, 74, passed away peacefully in his home in Dunkirk, MD on February 18, 2021.
Larry was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather who loved his family, church, and community and served them all faithfully during his lifetime. He had a passion for helping others whether it be for family, friends, or the community. He was a highly-skilled contractor, who took great pride in the home he built for his family where they have resided for over 40 years. Larry enjoyed beautifying his home in the woods and found raking/blowing leaves to be therapeutic and now leaves this fun for his children (Thanks, Dad aka Bubba J. ).
