Cyril was a great provider and a hard worker his entire life. When not at work, he was always busy doing something whether it was fixing something at home or helping another family member or a friend. He loved the outdoors, berry picking, fishing, hunting and attending to his vegetable gardens. He was a member of the Fortune Lions Club and the Fortune Volunteer Fire Department.
We would especially like to express a special thank you to his sisters, Mary Ryan and Alice Puddicombe for all the love, care and support they provided during his illness. Thank you also to the staff at the Waterford N2A and GPAU for the care you provided.
