Avis de décès de Cyril Garrett

GARRETT, Cyril (Cy) National Research Council (Ret'd) Peacefully on November 4, 2007 in his 87th year. Beloved husband and loving companion of Diana for 36 years. Cy leaves behind three much loved and loving children; his son Daniel (Judith) of Kitchener, ON, his daughter Jane Sills (Daniel) of Waterloo, ON, and his step-son John Fitchett of Vancouver, B.C. Also surviving are five very special grandchildren and one great grandchild; Meagan and Ryan Garrett, Laura Charlton (Darcy), Heather and Jennifer Sills, and Shea Garrett. After a long and successful career at the National Research Council - first as Head of the X-Rays and Nuclear Radiation Section and finally as Head of NRC's Industrial Research Assistance Program, Cy embraced "Freedom 60" and the joys of 26 years of happy retirement. Following Cy's wishes, there will be no visitation or funeral service. The family would like to express their gratitude to the staff of the Garry J. Armstrong Residence for the excellent care Cy received. In particular heartfelt thanks to Cathy Whittal, R.N. and all the other wonderful nurses and caregivers on the 2nd floor of the Residence for their exceptional care, kindness, understanding and support during Cy's last 18 months of life. A very special thank you goes to Darlene and Susan who through their loving care and thoughtfulness made a sad situation easier to bear for both Cy and his family.
