July 6, 1926 - March 17, 2018
Garfield "Cy" Sumner was born July 6, 1926 in Iowa . Cy was an expert pipe-fitter and recognized in his industry across the country. After retirement he was the neighborhood "fix-it guy".

Cy enjoyed conversation with everyone he met. He lived life, in his easy-going manner, to the fullest for nearly 92 years.
