I was Fther Cyril’s carer for 3 yrs after Fiona’s passing, Father Cyril was like the grandfather I never had, his sage advice and love I will carry with me for the rest of my life.. We spent many days and nights in deep conversation about all topics.. He was my dear dear friend, I am pleased to hear he is at rest at Rookwood, he told me many times that was where he want to be, with his Mum and Dad… I could write a book about this wonderful wonderful man. the loss of his beloved friend and housekeeper Fiona came as a terrible blow to both Cyril and I. ( she made me promise that after she passed I would keep an eye on him… as it turned out I needed him as much as he needed me… I was not informed of his passing which saddens me as I would have dearly loved to be present at his funeral to pay my deepest respects… Cyril I love you like a grandfather and a very dear friend… the world is a little dimmer without you in it…
