About Frank Tyger (from franktyger.info)
Frank Tyger was an editorial cartoonist for The Times. Frank was born on December 24, 1929 in Brooklyn, New York to Belle and Joseph Tyger. His family moved to Hamilton, New Jersey in 1950 while Frank was in the Army. The oldest of three brothers, Frank lived with and cared for his parents until their passing. His middle brother, Stan, passed away a number of years ago and his youngest brother, Bob, still resides in Hamilton Township. Although Frank never married and had no children of his own, he was like a second father to his two nieces and nephew.
Even at an early age Frank displayed a natural ability to draw. Oftentimes he would sketch portraits of family members during their visits to the Tyger home.
