It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Cyril John O'Brien, age 78, at the Dr. Leonard A. Miller Centre, in the presence of family and friends on May 9, 2018. Cyril was a devoted loving husband and father who always had a smile on his face and a good word to share. A friendly and jovial soul who loved to laugh and carry on, he will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered. Cyril is predeceased by his brother Eddie Ryan and his sister Sade Osmond (Gerry). Cyril enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces as a young man and while he spent a short term serving, he was a proud member speaking passionately about his time in the Black Watch. He was a long-time employee of Purity Factories and retired in 2004. He leaves to mourn his loving and dedicated wife Maxine, his two sons David (Dawn) and Stephen (Glenda), grandchildren (Kyle, Dylan and Haley), his sister-in-law Lois (Andy), long time devoted friends Carol Smith, Stu Whitten and many other friends, nieces and nephews.

Rest in peace Dad - you will never be forgotten.
