(October 26, 1931 – October 17, 2017)
Passed peacefully away in the comfort of his home on Tuesday, October 17, 2017, Cyril Joseph Power, at the age of 85 years. Cyril is predeceased by his parents, William Power and Mary (Sullivan), brothers Gerald, Lawrence, Patrick, Bill, Hubert and sister, Margaret (Cochrane). Leaving to mourn his best friend and the love of his life, Julia Diamond, her sons Darryl and Trevor, and his brother Brian Power (Niagara Falls, ON), along with many special nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Cyril was born and raised on Bell Island in Conception Bay. He was a proud islander with a passion for the people and the community. For years he worked as the administrator of the Dr. Walter Templeman Memorial Hospital. Cyril was involved in the community and he was no stranger to sports. Over the years he frequented the curling rink on Bell Island and in St John’s. Cyril was better known as one of the Power boys who played for the Bell Island Miners hockey team from 1950 to 1957. He spoke with great pleasure of having shared those years with brothers Bill and Hubert as team mates. One of his proudest hockey moments was when the Power boys helped the Miners to the provincial championship of 1955/56 against a highly favored St. John’s team. In his own words, they played in a time when “hockey was hockey for sport”. In his later years Cyril left Bell Island and moved to St. John’s where he met his best friend and the love of his life, Julia Diamond. Her devotion and dedication to him over the years will ever be remembered by those who loved him. Special thanks to Dr. Michelle Wagoner for her comfort and support to Cyril and Julia over many years. Cremation for this wonderful man has already taken place. A service in his memory will be held at a later date. Cyril will be returned to his beloved island in the summer of 2018, when his ashes will be laid to rest in the Roman Catholic cemetery overlooking Conception Bay. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his memory to any charity of one’s choice.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Cyril Power – (October 26, 1931 – October 17, 2017).source
