Cy and Betty were married in St John’s Nepomucene Church, Philadelphia, PA in 1952. Throughout their 68 years of marriage, he was a wonderful, caring and loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and father-in-law. He lived a great life and devoted that whole life to his family. He was a well-respected class act who had a positive impact on countless people. He was an incredible man with a happy positive personality and a wonderful smile that lit up a room when he entered. He joined the Air Force in 1948 and met his beloved wife in 1950 while he was waiting to ship out to Puerto Rico. He visited her for the first time after a year-long letter writing courtship and proposed before his return to Puerto Rico. They married a year later after his discharge from the Air Force. He was incredibly driven and earned a bachelor’s degree from Michigan State University while raising his first 3 children and working multiple jobs. He worked his entire 34 year career at IBM as an electrical engineer while having 3 more children and retired in 1990. They drove all over the US and Canada visiting family and friends over the next 25 years. He leaves behind a great legacy and lots of memories and will be missed by everyone who knew him. Cyrice and Elizabeth will be laid to rest together at Arlington National Cemetery at a later date. The family would like to extend a sincere thank you to Hospice and Palliative Care, Charlotte Region and the dedicated staff at the Laurels and The Haven for their exceptional care and support.
