No matter how old we are, it’s never easy to loose a parent. You’re all in our thoughts and prayers, take comfort in your memories as you grieve. Thinking of you and all your family. 

Chef Ty was a brilliant chef, nurturing mentor and  wonderful human being.  I was fortunate to meet Chef Ty and Chef Rocco @ SUNY Cobleskill while attending culinary school.  Both Chefs became  great mentors and  friends impacted my life and countless others.  Chef Ty was an extremely kind and giving person..  My condolences to all of his family and friends!

Please accept our sincere condolences. Michael was a wonderful addition to the Foundation  at SUNY Cobleskill and I enjoyed our time together. Please know he will be missed and is in our thoughts and prayers. 
We are so very sorry for your loss!!

Chef Ty was always a gentleman whenever he saw or interacted with me. He appointed me as National Student Competion Chair during his presidency and even when we did not agree on something he was always professional and a gentleman. He always dealt with those around him respectfully with genuine consideration to what they had to say and their thoughts on the many issues that he faced as a national figure in the ACF. I first met him early in my tenure as an ACF member and I will always remember that he treated me very well every time he saw me. His generosity and graciousness were well known to even those who knew him only as an acquaintance. His dedication to helping others served as an inspiration and role model to many culinarians and hospitality professionals. It was a privilege to know him. My prayers are with his family at this time and I thank you for sharing him with our profession.
