Forever a Sartan: Tybor, a longtime mainstay at St. Pius X, always put kids first

Tybor, a longtime mainstay at St. Pius X, never worked a day in his life when it came to the school. His daughter Deidre DeGuio said he treated all the students like his own kids and was concerned about their well-being. After coaching boys basketball at St. Pius X for seven seasons, Tybor left to pursue a master's degree in education administration.
He remained involved with the school by teaching physical education, history, health, and running intramural programs. Tybor was known for his quiet demeanor, dedication, and innovative coaching techniques. He hired Ray Giannini as the first football coach in 1970, and the Sartans went on to win the Class 3A state championship that same season.
Tybor was also an avid photographer and used his hobby to benefit the school and its students by taking pictures of every class throughout the year and giving personalized photo packets to graduating students. He was known for remembering the names and faces of former St. Pius students, even decades later, and would often check in with them and their families.
