CECIL THOMAS JANUARY 31, 1915- JULY 24, 2000 It is with great sadness that the family announces the sudden passing of a beloved husband, father and grandfather, Cecil Thomas at the age of 85 years. He was predeceased by his parents Peter and Kate Young, daughter-in-law Nina Thomas and eldest grandchild Annette Thomas. He leaves to cherish his memory his wife Kay; son Keith (Marion) and grandson Darren; three sisters, Eleanor, Margaret and Gertrude; brother Max residing in Newfoundland. Cecil was born in St. Johns, Newfoundland. He proudly served in the 59th Heavy Regiment, Royal Artillery during the Second World War. He married Kay in Britain in April, 1943. After the war, he returned to Newfoundland and worked for A.E. Hickman and Co. until 1973. He retired for the first time in 1973 ad visited Britain for 6 years. He moved to Winnipeg in 1977 to be closer to his family and returned to the workplace in 1980 where he worked for J.R. Richardson, finally retiring in 1986. He was very faithful to his church and rarely missed a Sunday service at St. Marys Anglican Church in St. Johns and later St. Peters Anglican Church in Winnipeg. Cremation has taken place and there will be a memorial service on Thursday, July 27 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Peters Church, Grant Avenue and Elm Street. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Bible Society, 10 Carnforth Rd., Toronto, ON, M4A 2S4, or a charity of your choice. NEIL BARDAL INC. 949-2200 WWW.NBARDAL.MB.CA
