When my dear neighbor and friend, Cy (Cyril) , sadly passed away on December 14, 2018 after a courageous battle with a very painful illness, I was inspired to write this limerick in his honor.
I had the pleasure of having Cy and his wife, Bette, as neighbors for 28 years. Cy was an outdoor enthusiast and a perfectionist in maintaining his neat home and property. He was a very kind and generous person who always came to the rescue with a smile when we needed assistance with mechanical problems with our lawnmowers, snowblowers, plumbing , carpentry, etc.
