Tyler, William James 52, left us unexpectedly and all too soon, but will live forever in our hearts. His life ended on March 5, 2019, in Huntington Beach, California. Bill graduated from Parkway West High School in 1985. He earned a degree in film production from Arizona University and also attended the University of Missouri-Columbia, where he was a member of Sigma Chi Fraternity. Moving to California to pursue his career in film, one of his first movie credits was on the crew of Forest Gump. He also worked on many other notable movies and national TV commercials. While living in Hermosa Beach, he started volunteering for police force efforts, and eventually changed career paths, choosing community over commercial for his personal commitment. He attended the Los Angeles Police Academy, graduating second highest in his class. After over ten years as an officer in the LAPD, he transferred to the L.A. Port Police Department dedicated to maritime law enforcement, where he proudly served over the next ten years. Following Bill's death, the Port Police posted the following on their Facebook site: This week we tragically and unexpectedly lost a dear friend, brother, partner and one of the finest Maritime Law Enforcement Police Officers in our profession. Senior Lead Officer William Tyler served over 21 years and passed while off duty. Officer Tyler trained scores of our personnel and hundreds of maritime police officers outside of our agency at the L.A. Port Police Maritime Law Enforcement Training Center. Please keep his family, friends and colleagues in your thoughts and prayers. He is and will be deeply missed. Services: Memorial services will be held at Church of the Foothills in Santa Ana, CA on April 13. On the following day, the family, members of the Port Police and friends will participate in a ceremony of the scattering of his ashes on the ocean he loved so much. Bill's survivors are his wife Sarah and children James and Danann, parents William H. and Margery M. Tyler of Chesterfield, MO., brother Daniel Moss Tyler and his wife Jill and children Clover and Owen, of Leawood, KS., uncles James Moss and Robert Tyler, as well as numerous other relatives and close friends.

Link Gregg had a way with people. From his early childhood days and throughout his adult life, he made connections easily and cultivated a wide circle of friends. These were tried-and-true buddies who were like family to Gregg, and they in turn had a special fondness for him, calling him nicknames like “Lil Pro” or “Pohlie.” He was extremely loyal and protective of his family and friends. My brother was an avid sports enthusiast – both as a player and spectator. I remember attending almost all of his high school wrestling matches; they were intense, exciting, and nerve wracking all at once! Then he discovered his true love, golf, and eventually went on to obtain his PGA playing card and work at notable clubs in Missouri, Florida, Ohio, New York, and Kansas. Fishing was another passion that he was able to indulge during his years in Florida. And while he likely cheered on local teams when he was living in different states, his undying support and allegiance to the Mizzou Tigers and St. ...
