Cyril Davidson

Davnob was sad to hear of the death, at the age of 84,  of Uncle Lammie’s son, Cyril Davidson. Cyril was the youngest of Lammie’s three children - the younger brother of Kathleen (Turner) and Colin (Davidovitz). 

His son, Willie (Steve Davidson), wrote, 'After suffering the challenges of Alzheimers disease for several years our Dad passed away peacefully and painlessly at 4am this morning in his sleep. We love you Pops - Rest in Peace xxx'

Condolences from the whole family.
