My condolences goes out to the family of Cyril. I knew Cy for a very long time and he always held a special place in my heart. He and my brother were good friends when they were in high school so I saw him quite often. For several years I babysat his son Mark every Monday night when he and Pam went bowling, and in later years he married a good friend of mine and lived less than a mile from me. He was a very talented man and had a lot of good attributes. Keep the good memories of him close to your heart wherever you go. Peace be with you all.
The world has lost a great artist , and I have lost a great friend . Cyril painted several of my motorcycles back in our younger days. I always had fingerprints of total strangers on my gas tanks because people just had to touch that paint to make sure it was not a mirror, I still have several bikes with that paint on and I will always remember who was the best artist at making a bike stand out . RIP my old friend , I will miss you . Michael
My sincere condolences and prayers to family members.
God Bless,
To the family of Cyril………….I had the pleasure of working with Cyril on and off for the past several years in a business capacity. In our last few meetings we loved to talk about cars and other automotive interests. He was very enjoyable and a pleasure to talk with. I will remember his graciousness and our conversations with a smile. Condolences to you all.
