I Still Think of Him
I went to school with Ty, same home room class. We weren't buddies but he always complimented me on my articles in the school paper and I, of course, always complimented him on his amazing athletic prowess. He never fell, never stumbled, that I ever saw. If he didn't win a race, he sure looked like he should have. He is buried in Long Island National Cemetery, in Farmingdale, New York. I intend to go there before it's too late, to say goodbye. I just need to, you know?

Uncle Ty, your truly missed
My uncle Tyrone is truly a hero not only to our family but to America as well. I never got to meet him because he had already passed when I was born, but let me tell you that his spirit still lives on. He lives on through his ONLY brother, ONLY daughter, his 7 nieces and nephews, and his ONLY granddaughter. My father (his only brother) talks and tells stories about him and we look at pictures. My uncle is loved not only by us, but from what I have read... by the world as well. I know he is looking down from heaven and smiling. We love you uncle, and you will always be missed.. Your niece, Jesse Pannell-Denson

I graduated from Manhattan College in 1962 two years before Ty Panell. I knew him as a gifted track star and as a member of my closest friend's pledge class. I think of Ty Panell from time to time and wonder how his child is as a grown man or woman.

My Friend
When I was a young girl I lived next door to Lt Pannell and his wife in Quantico, VA. I used to go over to his house all the time and we'd play cards. Our favorite game to play was War. I can't remember which of us lost or won the most. But I remember Mr. Pannell. We'd play that game and flip those cards and laugh and talk. I remember my Dad taking me to the track and we'd sit on the hill and watch Lt. Panell practice and run. When Mrs. Panell was pregnant with their daughter, and I didn't understand things like I do now, I would tell her that I wanted her to bring me a grass skirt back from Hawaii and she would be so quiet. My little girl fancy of a grass skirt from Hawaii and her knowing.... I feel that moment to this day, her quiet. Knowing why now that which I was much to young to understand then... I remember when Mrs. Panell came back to visit with their daughter and she was just a beautiful baby. I remember when I was told of his death. I remember exactly. I was young but I was a Marine's daughter and a soldiers life does not have a sugar coating. Growing up a Marine's daughter during the war there were alot of goodbye's. But Mr.Pannell was MY friend. A friend I remember to this day.

2Lt. Pannell, On this Memorial Day weekend the Glancy family remembers you. While I was too young to remember you in person from your time at Quantico, you were a good friend and role model for my older brother Bob. As the son of a Marine that served whenever his country called, I want to thank you for the sacrifice you gave to this great country and want your family to know you are remembered and your contribution lives on to this very day. I and our country thank you and your family and we owe you both a debt that simply cannot be repaid.

Ty - A True Competitor
In 1965 Tyrone Pannell and I were teammates on the Quantico Track Team. Since both of us ran the high hurdles, we practiced together on a daily basis. I got to know Ty pretty well over the 3 or 4 month track season. Both of us had run times fast enough to qualify for post season meets such as the National AAU Meet in California.
Because his wife was pregnant, Ty chose to stay home with his wife. He was afraid the baby would come early and he wanted to be there for the birth. I remember him telling me to come to his home for dinner after I got back and tell him about the trip. That is what I did. That was the last time I saw Ty. Five months later Ty was KIA. I learned of his death when I walked into the Sandpiper, a local bar in Laguna Beach, California. They kept a bulletin board on the wall with letters, postcards and news clippings from the guy from across the pond. There was newspaper article posted with Ty's picture and a headline that read, 'He Was Where The Action Is'. The article went on to describe his death.
There are some things a person will always remember. This is one of mine.
Semper Fi, Ty!

This message is really for Tyrone's family. I was in his Basic School platoon in Quantico Class 1-65 and went to Viet Nam after him. Because our names are close in the alphabet, we were always in close proximity to each other.
I remember him as a very happy person who always had a smile and positive word. He endured a bit more 'bs' than most of us - perhaps because it was felt that he could handle it- and he did. I remember him talking about his wife and saying that they were going to raise a basketball team.
I think of him often.
