Leaving to mourn his passing are beloved wife Gladys, son Michael (Lorri), daughter Susan Meagher (Bill), grandchildren Mikayla and Evan Kerr, James, Michael and Daniel Meagher and niece Debbi Mackie. Predeceased by brothers Jim, Arch, sister Evelyn (Mackie) and nephew Jim Mackie. Cec grew up in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. He served in the R.C.N.V.R and then during the Second World War the R.C.A.F. After the war, Cec was employed for 30 years with Trans-Canada Airlines (Air Canada). He married Gladys in 1952 and together they owned and operated "Kerrs Snack Bar" on South Osborne St. in the 1950s. Cec, Gladys and family enjoyed many wonderful summers at their Victoria Beach cottage. He was committed to the fraternities of the Masons, the Scottish Rite and the Shrine. Cec was leader of the Khartum Temple Oriental Band in the 1960s. Cec retired from Air Canada in 1976 and then spent many happy winters with Gladys at their mobile home in Dunedin, Florida. He will be remembered for his wonderful "groaner" jokes, his sense of humour and love of conversation. He was an avid reader and never stopped learning new things. Thanks to the staff of Misericordia Health Centre (Cornish 2) and Victoria Hospital for their compassionate care. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made the Salvation Army, Shriners Hospitals for Children in care of Khartum Temple or a charity of your choice.
