Cyril’s Obituary
PIEDMONT – Allister Cyril O’Connor, 87, Piedmont, went to be with his Lord and Saviour, Friday, April 17, 2020 in the Aberdeen Hospital, New Glasgow with his daughter and granddaughter by his side.
Born Piedmont, he was a son of the late Jeremiah O’Connor and Annie Catherine (MacDonald) (O’Connor) Cameron. Cyril operated the Circle “C” Ranch which offered horse and trail rides, and camping facilities for many years. He had been employed with the former C. A. Robertson Lumber Ltd., Kenzieville and as a snowplow operator with the Department of Transportation. Cyril enjoyed farming, raising sheep and looking after his horses. He possessed an enduring faith in his Lord and worshiped with his church family at Freedom Bible Church, Sutherlands River. Cyril was the “glue” and “backbone” of his family and to many, related or not, he was “grampie”. He leaves a rich legacy of faith and love to his family.
