One is not judged by how much you love but by how much you are loved by others
Cyril was a man who truly valued connection, and over the last few years, he took great joy in the many new friendships he built in town. He cherished the stories, laughs, and company of those he met, and his presence will be deeply missed by all who came to know him.
To celebrate the life he lived and the friends he made, we invite you to join us for a time of remembrance at Barrett’s Funeral Home in St. John’s.
Following this, Cyril will be returning to his roots. He will be brought home to his final resting place in Burin, NL, where he will be surrounded by the familiar sights and community he loved.
A second visitation will be held at Serenity Funeral Home (95 Main Street, Burin), followed by a memorial service to honour his journey and celebrate his life.
Dates and times for the visitations and service are currently being finalized and will be shared as soon as they are available.
