Herbert “Herb” Tyner was an astute businessman as well as a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He valued his family, above all else. He is survived by:

His wife of 60 years, Suzanne Tyner; daughters and sons-in-law, Deborah Tyner and Richard Herman of Franklin, Cynthia Dobbins of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Karen and Douglas Rouff of Bloomfield Hills, and subsequently Doylestown, Pennsylvania; son and daughter-in-law, David and Gael Tyner of Bloomfield Hills; grandchildren, Jacqueline Herman, Brandon Herman, Jeremy Dobbins, Alana and Adam Gerstein, Eric Rouff, Andrew Rouff, Rebecca Tyner and Sarah Tyner; great grandchildren, Herschel and Xander Dishman, Riley Gerstein; and sister, Paula (the late Henry) Siegel.

Herb grew up in Detroit with his parents, Jean and David, and his sister Paula. He graduated Central High School at age 16 and began his freshman year at Ohio State University at age 17, earning a master’s of business administration by the time he turned 21. He then formed Hartman & Tyner, Inc., achieving success as a result of his hard work and unwavering commitment.

Despite working long hours to develop his business, Herb made sure his wife, Suzanne and his children were always a priority. He always emphasized the importance of education and encouraged independence in his children. He welcomed his children’s partners with love, making them feel like part of the family. His grandchildren were his pride and joy.

Herb’s charitable spirit and commitment to education were exemplified by establishing the Jean and David Tyner Religious School at Temple Israel. That spirit was also driven by the many boards and organizations he supported, as well as the establishment of the Suzanne and Herbert Tyner Center for Cardiovascular Intervention at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak.

He was honest, down-to-earth, and he valued each individual regardless of status. Herb’s kind heart and his generosity extended to not only his community, but also to his family and many friends. This attribute assisted in making him a mentor to many friends and colleagues, always being there for those who needed advice or support.
