Born February 17, 1918 to Daniel and Grace (Kelly), Cyril was the eldest in a close family, but sadly was predeceased by his sisters, Margaret, Helen (Bedford Moran), Alice (Lou Furlan) and Annetta Burns and his brother Pat (Kay). Dad was proud to have lived his whole life in Charleswood, except for his service in the RCAF during the war, first in New Brunswick and later in England, where he met, courted and married Pauline. Cyril was an active member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Roman Catholic Church, the Knights of Columbus and the Charleswood Legion, a founder of the Charleswood Credit Union (which later merged with Assiniboine Credit Union) and, prior to a stroke at 79, he was an active volunteer with Agape Table and organized many Red Cross Blood Donor Clinics. Over the years, Cyril received a variety of certificates and awards in recognition of his volunteer work. Dad valued his friendships, especially those with Jean Mack, the Sisters of the Precious Blood and Prima, his foster child in India. Cyril spent most of his working life as a boilermaker at the CNR Shops and was a strong union supporter. Dad loved parties and being around people, and recently enjoyed celebrating his 88th birthday with family and friends. The family wishes to thank the staff at Deer Lodge Hospital for their very kind and patient care.
