A beloved husband, father and grandfather passed away on August 25, 2023 at 92.

He is survived by his wife, Hazel, of 66 years, daughters Laura (Tim) and Nancy (Scott), grandchildren Andrew (Cyndy), Nicole (Pascal), Bruce, Megan, and great-granddaughter Iris.

He is predeceased by his brother, Clifford.

Born in Toronto, Cec spent his childhood on Danforth and Ward's Island, fostering cherished memories.

He was a dedicated teacher with the North York Board of Education and loved regaling his family with tales of school days, class trips and sports teams. Cec's heart belonged to the family cottage on Belmont Lake.

Never one to sit still, he enjoyed puttering on endless projects in the boathouse. When relaxing, you could find him reading a book by the water or enjoying a fabulous Belmont sunset.

A beacon of warmth and kindness, Cecil's presence will be deeply missed.

A private cremation has occurred, and a Celebration of Life will be held on September 9th from 1 to 4 pm at DeStefano Funeral Home in Oshawa.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or a charity of your choice.
