Condolences
If there is anything positive it is that they left together and are together. To all family left behind, you will miss them more than you can imagine but hold to the thought that they are not without each other. There love for each other will be with you always.
My sincere condolences to the Secord families. Dr Secord was our family's optometrist since 1980,when we move to NY He was great with kids and he welcomed us to the area. Tho I only saw him once or twice a year, he was like a lifelong friend, gave great care, excellent service and cared more about us as people than the money we paid for his help. We talked hunting and fishing and family every time I was in the office. He always asked abut the family and our children. I will miss him and will always hold the good memories of this caring, professional and upbeat friend.
As a boyhood pal of Ty and a DA classmate of Barb, we have sweet memories of our youth. As adults we have deep appreciation and respect for the lives and profound influences of Tyler and Barbara. As friends we offer our deepest loving thoughts and prayers to the family and many friends who are truly missing Dr. & Mrs.Tyler Secord....may God cherish their presence in heaven.
deepest sympathy to you at the loss of two beautiful,respected people, your parents ty and barb. itwas our pleaure to know them in this lifetime as school friends, clients, and adult friends. so many of us will also miss your parents.they were very proud of you and the grandchildren.
To the family, our deepest condolences for your loss. We just saw them at the square July 4th week-end, and Ty whom I hadn't seen since high school over 48 yrs. ago, gave me a big hug. It was wonderful reminiscing about old times, and I will always be grateful that I had the chance to reconnect after all these years. God must have had a bigger plan for them. Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Fondly, Barb (Mills) McMahon
To the family of Ty and Barbara, I am very sorry for your loss.
I was very fortunate to share pizzas and chicken wings, few days before they were taken away. We really had a lot of fun that evening. It was a pleasure meeting them. They are missed.
Words can hardly express our sadness when we learned of the passing of your mom & dad. I had gone to Dr. Tyler since in my late 20's until his retirement, we always talked about how much younger he was than me 1 yr 10 days younger!! I always joked about loving my appt. because I got to go in the "dark room" with him. He was such a handsome, friendly man..Years later my husband went to the optical barr and he enjoyed the hunting & fishing stories of course. We missed him when he retired and always will remember him. Our deepest sympathy to the family.
Sean
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

We are so sorry for your loss. We were patients of Ty & Barb for a long time. I enjoyed fishing with Ty on the Salmon River for many years. I will never forget the times we shared. May they rest in peace. They will always remembered fondly.
Thoughts and prayers to the family in this very hard and trying time. My Mom and I were patients up until his retirement him and I shared a lot of conversation on hunting and fishing he invited me down to there place so many times and go fishing with him or go hunting together never got the chance but sure would have enjoyed the chance I missed .He talked of his family every time I was in there

We want to express our sympathies to the Rider and Secord families. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Good memories will help in the days to come and keep them first and foremost in you heart and mind.
My sympathy to the family. I did not know Tyler well, but Barb was a classmate, and in 9th grade, a table partner in Basic Art One.
Having lived in many towns and hence reforming our medical support teams many times, both Collin and I fondly remember our favorite eye doctor ever, Dr Secord. So sorry for your sudden loss.
Kim an Sean: So ironic, I was just thinking of your dad last week when i was trying to pull my kids in a tube behind our boat? I told them the story of Dave Perkins and myself trying to learn how to water ski with your dad. We kept breaking the ski rope and he just kept laughing and saying "good thing I have another one". I will always cherish the good times we all spent with them! Sincere Sympathy!
Tyler was our family Eye Doc since the 70's. We all enjoyed our trips in to see him. I just saw Tyler and Barb shopping in Cortland about a month ago. Had a great visit with them. Will miss seeing them. They were both so down to earth. My family sends our Heart felt Sympathy. RIP
Our condolences to the families of Dr. Tyler & Barb Secord. I Worked for Dr. Secord for ten yrs. They were both very special people and we will miss them.
With Deepest Sympathy we write this message of condolence. My wife J acquie and I were patients of Ty for many years. I will miss the humor we shared in the office. I will miss talking fishing and hunting stories with Ty. I will never forget the times Ty and the crew and I had on Salmon River and fishing Douglaston Salmon Run before we got kicked out!! A lot of good memories. Every time I would come in the office, Barb would say."Oh, He's in there, I know He will want to talk to you Gene. it's about fishing isn't it? They will be greatly missed. With much sadness, Gene & Jacquie Egan
Our prayers and sympathy goes out to your families. s
I am so saddened by your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family and friends. Dr. Secord was my grandmother's eye doctor since he opened his practice, and was my eye doctor as well until he retired. He was such a fine man, and I will always remember our wonderful conversations. He never once rushed his patients in and out of his office, as he loved to hear about our lives and share the events, particularly his stories of how much he loved his family, the outdoors, and hunting. He was a wonderful and well respected man. I was honored to have known him, as are many. May God bless you all and may your wonderful memories help ease your pain.
To Sean and family. I wish I could be there. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Kim, Sean and the entire family. I am so very sorry for the loss of your mom and dad. They were both amazing and unforgetable people. I have so many wonderful memories of them both that i will always treasure. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this very sad time. My life was truly blessed for knowing them. Kimberly- Sharpsteen Hooper
I will always remember my summers spend at the lake. As a teen, Tyler took me salmon fishing for the first time. I remember asking him , how will I know when I see one? Just then, a salmon took off it was like a torpedo going thru the water . Tyler said, now you know what you are looking for. I enjoyed our chats while admiring his Trophy Room... WOW, I was so jealous. Barb was so nice to me. She was special, always laughing.
Kim and Sean, I am very sad for your loss.
I am so very, very sorry for your loss. Dr. Secord was my eye dr. and a spendid one he was!!!!!! I also met your Mom when she worked with him before he retired. Both wonderful people. Dr. Secord visited as much as he examined and was a great man!!! He told of his travels and hunting. Again, I am so very sorry for your deep loss. They died way too young. You both and your families are in my prayers. God be with YOU ALL now and always! Sincerely, Melissa Nettleton
We send our sincerest condolences to the Rider and Secord families at this very difficult time. May you trust in the love and comfort that only God can give.

My heartfelt condolences for your terrible loss. May you and your family find solace in the fond memories of your Mom and Dad.

I can hardly believe that they are gone. I shared so may days in the woods and on Salmon River with Ty. I will always remember those times and will think of Ty often while I am in the woods or on the water in the future.
Barbara's laughter and Tyler's joke will always remain in my mind and we will cherish your friendship always.
We will miss our regular telephone conversations .... Kim, Sean and family, I will keep you all in our prayers thoughts and prayers.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to you Sean,and your families. May GOD hold you in his arms,and comfort you at this time of great sorrow.

With my sincere deepest symthy.. J. Peter Brooks
KIM & SEAN & FAMILY,
My heart is aching for you at this sad time. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you. I have so many fond memories of your parents when I lived in Moravia. We had a lot of fun and they were so kind to include me. We stayed in touch after I moved away and of course Ty did my eye exam every year. I'm sorry that they did not get to enjoy their retirement for long after working so hard. I can't believe how your life can change in a second.
Love,
Julie Saltsman
Two beautiful people. I did not know Barb as well as Ty since we were 3 yr olds together on Park Place. Through the same hard work he put into football, he achieved great success in his chosen profession. But for me he will always be a teenager from the little red house on Park Place.
"One sleep past, we wake eternally and death shall be no more Death, thou shall die!"
Dr. Secord was our eye doctor for many years and I will never forget how sweet he was with my daughter Cassandra. Cassandra has autism and we were very nervous about how she would do with an eye exam and glasses as a teenager, but Dr. Secord was wonderful with her and made her right at ease. He joked with her (of course) and found a way to figure out what she could and couldn't see. We missed him when he retired and are so saddened at his death. Our condolences.
Dear Kim, Chris, and children, Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. May you be comforted remembering the very special times you shared with your parents/grandparents. I will always remember the way they looked at you with such adoration and pride. May they rest in Peace.
Sean, Julie and family My thoughts are with you. Julie Thomson
I have known Tyler and Barbara for as long as I can remember, since 1974.
We have shared so many good and fond memories together.
Tyler and Barbara will be missed terribly by us, especially our regular phone conversations ....
Rest in Peace my dear friends
Sean and Patrick, we extend our sincere sympathy to both of you and each of your families.for your devastating loss. May the good memories bring you some eventual peace.

I first met Dr. Tyler Secord when I visited him for an eye exam when he first opened his office in Cortland in the early 1970's. He continued to be my "eye doctor" until his retirement. Not only was Tyler an excellent optometrist, but he became a good friend, as did his wife, Barb. Tyler and I shared many hunting stories, and Barb and I talked many times about our love of horses, and in particular, about my horse, Blaze, whom she had ridden at a stable before I purchased him. When my mother was in the hospital in 1986, Mom was worried about her eyesight. (Her heart was giving out and causing problems with her vision.) I called Tyler and asked him for a huge favor—I asked if he would visit my mom in the hospital on his way home. "Absolutely!" was his response. I was visiting Mom when he stopped by that same evening, examined her eyes, and assured her that they were fine. He wouldn't let me pay for his bedside visit to Mom. He just said he hoped she felt better soon. They always spoke lovingly of their children and grandchildren. They were very proud of all they had achieved. Tyler and Barb touched many lives and made many, many friends over the years. I was fortunate and honored to consider them my friends. They will be missed!
Sorry for your Loss they will be missed They were our friends for along time we will miss them.
rowing up in Homer, NY, Tyler Secord was my Optician until he retired a short time ago. He was a wonderful man always full of stories and never short for conversation. He will be dearly missed.
Sean and Kim, We are so sorry to hear about your Mom and Dad. If there is anything that we can do to help please let us know.
Our thoughts are with you at this very difficult time.

I shared many laughs with Dr. Secord over the many years he was my optometrist. He was a kind and considerate man. I was shocked and very saddened, hearing of his and his wife's passing. My prayers to their families. Gloria Bryant
So very sorry for your loss. Barb and Tyler were great people. I had a lot of fun with them over the years. If there is anything I can help you with please let me know. Hugs to all of you.
I was a patient of the doc's for 40 years. He was truly a wonderful man. When Barbara filled in at the office, she always looked so beautiful. He seemed to adore her and his family. I am so sorry for your loss.
Sean and family, We are so sorry to hear of your tragic loss. If there is anything we can do please let us know. Your in our thought's and prayer's.
Growing up together in Delhi we shared many happy memories through our youth. We express our sincere condolences to the families of Barb and Ty for this sudden and tragic loss.
my daughter and I went to Dr. Secord for yrs. he was so much fun. Just an all around wonderful person. It's so sad you are all in my prayers
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Secord and Rider families during this very difficult time in their life.
May God provide you peace and comfort now and in the days ahead.

I have fond memories of playing violin with Barbara (string quartet/orchestra) and being cheerleaders together. She was a wonderful classmate. Holding Barb and Ty's friends and especially their family in the light...
