Cyril Edgar Buck

On July 20th, 2012 at Eagle Terrace Newmarket, Cyril (Cy) Buck formerly of Aurora Ontario and London, England.

Loving husband of Evelyn. Beloved father of Stephen (Mary), Frank (Lorna), Martin (Marnie), Theresa, Heather (Andy Brookes), Mark (Storm), Andrew (Rhonda). Proud grandfather of 17 wonderful grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren.

Cy will be remembered for his love of the theatre and the many happy years he spent behind the scenes and on stage in London, England and later in Ontario.

As a talented drummer, his passion for big band music played out through his entire life in a wide variety of musical ensembles, to the delight of audiences everywhere. A gifted artist, Cy was never more content than when he was able to spend hours over his sketch pad or canvas or painting wonderful sets for local theatre productions. He was delighted to be the recipient of many awards including, an Honourary Life Member of Theatre Aurora and named Volunteer of the Year by The Government of Canada for his work with The Newmarket Theatre.

Special thanks to the doctors, staff and residents at Alexander Muir Retirement Residence and Eagle Terrace Long Term Care for their care and compassion, allowing Cy to live his final years with dignity.

In accordance with Cy’s wishes a private family interment will take place and a Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, August 12th at Theatre Aurora, 150 Henderson Drive, Aurora from 2:00-4:00pm.
