ability of brightening so many lives including mine. I truly enjoyed our conversations over the years when he would volunteer at the Davis Centre.

Saddened to learn of the passing of Cy, he was truly a main fixture of the town of Bolton/ Caledon. He was a pure talent that created the town’s flag for its centennial celebration in 1972. Cy also produced a heritage collection of the old core of Bolton’s buildings that some of were lost to fire such as the Queen’s hotel, the Hickman street arena and the Albert street public school. Others were in the collection as well. May he Rest In Peace.
John M Downey

Why can’t we find more politicians like Cy Wallace? Smart, friendly, compassionate, never offended, and honest to the core. Cy always had a twinkle in his eye and real sense of humour. He had many artistic talents and was probably one of best graphic artists around, Cy’s love of people and his town were an example to follow. We feel a sense of personal loss and so does Bolton. We send our condolences to Ruth and the Wallace clan.

Ruth and family….. sympathy and many hugs to you all as you grieve the passing of Cyril ‘Cy”. Such a lovely human being and sweet man. Cyril was my mom’s first cousin and our family has spent many wonderful moments with the Wallace family and although a distance apart were always connected with love.
As a child we always went to Bolton to Uncle Adam and Aunt Olga’s to visit on Good Friday. She would call the family and they would come if they could. It is a wonderful memory.
He is the end of a wonderful era! Another angel in heaven…….Hugs

I am so very sorry for your loss. I worked with Cy at my first job as a graphic designer at the Bolton Enterprise in 1988-89.

He was a wonderful, kind and patient man who taught me so many great things and I will remember him fondly.
My sincere condolences,
