Dear Audrey and Family----
Cy was very proud of his service to our country. I first met Cy when he stood up to the Oakwood council in support of a local veteran being able to properly display the American flag at his home. He fought and was wounded in combat to protect that right. Enjoyed his friendship during the short time that I knew him. He gave so much for others. Thank you for sharing him with us.
