Tyrone Hill
Not really helicopter related except that he was a pilot. I went to school with him and just heard that he has died. Does any one know what happened. I loved Tyrone for his mad sense of fun and adventure. RIP.

In order to give as much information as possible for those that knew him and those that didnt :-
Tyrone was a L2 captain working for CHC at Aberdeen, at the weekend he died suddenly without warning from as yet undetermined causes.
he is survived by his partner and young son and his mother.
there is no information regarding the funeral at this time and when it is available it will be posted here and on his facebook page.
Tyrone was a top guy and friend who will be missed by everyone who knew him.

I'm another old school friend of Tyrone's. Shocked and saddened to hear of his death last weekend. As a few of us have discussed, the world's a less lively, crazy place with Tyrone gone. The sheer number of stories, which we'll hopefully get to share again soon, of Tyrone's antics are astounding. For those of you who met him later in life, I'm sure you got just as much excitement and laughs out of your time with him as we did.
I had been a long time, but he'll still be sadly missed for a long time to come.

Tyrone Hill
Another oul' mucker from Belfast here, and I'm just as shocked as the rest of yis. Am glad to have shared my growing pains with Tyrone (he caused a fair share of them after all!) and am all the richer for the experience - that's for sure. There was never a dull moment and he'd have given you the shirt off his back.
My thoughts are with Tyrone's family, and I just pray they get through this together. But I'm trying not going to get too solemn either. If we did, he'd be back to adminsiter a swift kick up the a*se and follow it up with that daft laugh we all loved.
We'll always have our memories, and I look forward to sharing some of these with you folks at the funeral.
Catch ye later Borleekheed,

Tyrone
Hey guys
Some of you might know me or have spoken to me over the years! My name is karen and i went to school with Tyrone but unlike some others i remained in contact with him for 27 Years. I recognise a couple of your names from when I visited him in Long Beach LA or when I called him when I was drunk at Papillon in las Vegas! you guys knew how to party!!!
I spoke to Iris T's mum and Michele his partner tonight.
No news of the funeral yet but it will be in Belfast.
My tears have been falling since i found out about Tyrone. Just cant stop. He was like a brother to me. An impish rascal of a brother who could not think of the naughtiest thing to do!
3 of us used to go out on a Friday night, as we all worked in his parents bar on at saturday- Hal and I drank vodka and lime, t drank vodka and black. There was the standing joke of T's purple suit, purple shirt and purple mustache by the end of the night!
We went to the local garage one night on the way home from a totally blinding night out to get some crisps and snacks. We went to pay with no sign of Tyrone only to find him outside asleep in a saleable dog kennel fast asleep!!! We couldn't get him out!!!
Finally, I don't want to seem self indulgence but I've not stopped crying since i heard or been able to go to work. I am totally devastated. I can tell you lots of stories. I LOVED TYRONE. He was the most full of life person i ever met in my life. He made every day count. He travelled the world and as a result so did I. He loved his life- Michele and Jack and his job and his colleagues. He loved me and I loved him and that is why my tears are tripping all over this keyboard.
I can't believe i will never see or hear from him again. He brought the most precious of things in life to others- laughter, fun, drive, being the biggest imp there ever was, honesty and friendship like I will never know again. So thats it for tonight. The only thing left to say is he might have liked it if I'd cried a bit- but he would be so pissed off with me now for wailing and looking like a 90 year old woman!
Thinking of you all

Very Sad to hear this news. Like Karen and others here I also went to school with Tyrone and remember him fondly. He was always great fun and, not so long ago I bumped into him in the Pothouse in belfast and had a fantastic night catching up with him.
A fun guy who will be sadly missed.

Just came upon this thread by chance, Tyrone and I grew up together, mischief was our middle name, as youngsters we had great times getting up to no good on the Antrim Road and at BRA.
How terrible.
God speed Ty
RIP

I am very shocked to hear this sad news of Tyrone's passing...he was indeed a good mate of James back in the mid 90's. He used tell many a tale of Tyrone and his crazy antics.
