There are so many wonderful memories I have of Cyril from over the years, which are very much intermingled with those of Joyce too. When living next door at Fromer Road when I was little I remember having my birthday party at their house one year and also going back and forth to collect balls my sister Sarah and I had knocked over into their garden! Their house was always a place of warmth, kindness and love for me as a small child. It was also wonderful having Joyce and Cyril visit us when we lived in Malaysia. They watched me compete in a swimming competition and it was so nice seeing their smiling faces in the crowd cheering me on. When we spent summer holidays in the UK whilst living in Malaysia, Cyril would always pick us up from the airport and drop us back at the end of the trip. He was the first and last person we would see on our visits :) Truly a lifelong friend, who felt much more like a member of the family. I will always cherish the memories myself and the rest of our family were privileged to share with Cyril and there are so many happy ones. How glad I am that my parents decided to move into the house next door to Joyce and Cyril all those years ago. We loved him very much and will miss him dearly. Emma and Andy Hart xxx
