You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I had the pleasure of working with Cy at Agriculture Canada and travelled with him to a few maintenance shows in Chicago and Toronto. Cy was one of the most technically competent and likeable persons I ever worked with; always a gentleman. I also recall meeting him and his lovely wife at Port Stanley where they danced the night away to the music of Guy Lombardo.
My sympathies to his family.
My sympathies to Rev Don Kleenliside and family. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
Don and Helen,
Dad saw the notice in the paper and told me the news of your father’s death.
My love and sympathy I extend to you and your family.
It would be good to connect sometime in the near future.
Blessings!

So sorry to hear of Cyril’s passing in but so happy to hear he lived a long life surrounded by loved ones. There was one omission though, his granddaughter Keisha from the list of granchildren. Thomas Keenliside’s daughter.
