John Shaw wrote a sympathy message

“I loved Cyril's classes largely because he showed how much he enjoyed the subject. They were done with dry humour to get a point across and to keep us on track. You knew Cyril was well prepared and expected you to be as well. He could bring out the best in us. Cyril was approachable and took time to help when asked. I had him for econometrics and his enthusiasm for the subject was infectious. Because of him I turned to mathematics and enjoyed a long and enjoyable career teaching it.”

“Best Cyril story. A student entered class late and made his way to the back of the room. Cyril stopped and said there were plenty of seats towards the front. The student replied that he preferred the back. "Just like church," said Cyril. "Everyone wants to sit at the back! ". 🙂 I (in the second row) was feeling a little frisky and responded with something like "And you are God?" with a 🙂 . He immediately responded, "No, but I will be when I mark your final exam next week!":)”
