I just came across this announcement for Cy. I am saddened to hear of his passing. I was good friends with his son James and was very fond of Cy. My sincere condolences to all of his family.

Dear Grossmayer Family,
My deepest sympathy for the loss of your lovely father. He was such a loving mentor to me, someone I will never forget and always respect.
I saw him last at my Mother'
s funeral. We didn't even have to speak, just held each other.
God bless to you and yours.
