Condolences

From Daw Saw Yu Tint (Alice)

It was in 2015 at Fremont phonegyi kyaung, I was leaving when he called out “Alice pyan pyee lar?” I nodded and waved him goodbye without realizing that would be my last for him!! Dear Ko Tin Myint may you rest in peace. And Lyo I am so very sorry. Please accept our deepest condolences.

From U Thein Swe (GBNF in 2021)

I remembered, when we stayed in C hostel-hall during RIT days, the tiger-skin (belonging to KoTin Myint) was stolen. Ko Tin Myint did not get angry and continued to boil tea- water.

From U Myo Min

Ko Tan Choy (Ko Tin Myint) is my intimate friend. Rest in peace, my dear.

From U Kyaw Thein

Rest in Peace.

From David Myint Thein

Rest In Peace, Ko Tin Myint. Lyo Kyin Sein was my classmate when we were attending I.Sc (A) at Myitkyina Intermediate College and reached RIT together in 1964. Please accept my deepest sympathies to you and your family

From Robert Win-Boh

John T Lee @ Ko Tin Myint (M69) came to Benny Tan (M70)’s house to pick me. He took me to halfmoon bay monastery & along the southern coast of S.F on my second last visit to USA in 2009. He was a close friend during RIT days. Rest in peace my friend John TM & deepest condolences to Mable LKS + family from Rob W-B Australia.

I am really sorry to hear the news of Ko Tin Myint. I remember that he was a good player of table tennis. His better half Lyo K S is one of our Myitkyina crowd. My sincere condolences to the bereaved family.

From Sai Kyaw Myint

Rest in Peace, Tan Choy. He was my classmate when we were in Taunggyi. Lyo Kyin Sein was my room mate in first (wrong) list in R I T 63-64. Both of they are very close friends of us. I’m so sad to hear it.
