It is with great sadness that the family of Cyril Stanley Vail announce his passing, which occurred on Wednesday, November 10, 2021, at the Sussex Health Centre, Sussex, NB. Born in Saint John, NB, on February 3, 1942, he was a son of the late Cecil and Ruth (Follett) Vail. Cyril lived his whole life in Belleisle Creek, NB. He carried on the family farm, owned since 1907 after his father passed away in 1980. It became a cow-calf operation which he managed successfully until ill health forced him to sell the cattle. Cyril farmed in conjunction with working the woodlot. He was also involved with SNB Wood CO-OP, NB Soil and Crop, NB Cattle Producers and the NB Federation of Wood lot Owners. The “woods” was his happy place and he loved going there. He continued going to the woods this past winter, operating the log loader while the boys cut. His hobby was work and to him, work was fun. Cyril is survived by his loving wife Linda (Ness) Vail of Belleisle Creek, NB; children: Patricia Vail (Amanda) of Saint John, NB, Timothy Vail of Belleisle Creek, NB and Nicholas Vail (Stacy) of Belleisle Creek, NB; grandchildren: Emily, Brandon and Cameron Vail and their mother Crista; grandchildren: Hannah and Ayden Vail; brother Laurence Vail; sisters: Shirley Devoe (Glenn), Judy Hughes (David), Barbara Sprague (Allen) and Pam Hughes; as well as many nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, Cyril was predeceased by his brother Earle Vail (Carol); and brother-in-law Dwight Hughes.
