He lived a solitary life with his cat Tiger. He worked at GM plant for over 20 years painting car parts in Toronto before returning home after the death of his father. His many hobbies included his vegetable garden, his flowers, bird hunting, deer hunting, and four wheeling. Cyril bought Nintendo machines the very first day they came on the market and conquered every one Nintendo game that came out on the market.
