Dearest Arlene TaliaBrett and Rudi. Cedric’s dear siblings Randy, Jan and Shereen
I will always remember Cedric as a live wire growing up in Mt Lavinia. Few times we met in Australia he was always a pleasure to chat with and always made a story an event. I deeply regret the inability to attend the funeral due to circumstances beyond my control. I will be there in spirit and share in your grief. Lots of love Dalryn Van Cuylenberg

Karina Ibbetson on 16 January, 2024 at 9:20pm

I'll always remember your cheeky smile, even cheekier sense of humour, warm friendly nature and generous spirit. Thank you for being a great colleague and friend. I'm grateful our paths crossed and I had the pleasure of knowing you. Cedric, you were a true gentleman who will be missed by so many.

Sending love and care to your family, who you spoke of so proudly and fondly. They truly were the apple of your eye.

Love Ibbs x

Deepest sympathy to your family Cedric. A beautiful man in every way. We shared many a laugh over the years we worked together and I could never quiet believe your age...cheeky bugger... always looked younger. Rudi... Your dad.... an awesome role model for the man you have become. You are so lucky to have had a father that was so invested in family and who loved unconditionally. I can see that trait in you with how much you love Tina and your boys. Cedric you will missed dearly by many. May the heavens above welcome you for the blessing you gave to so many xxxxx

It was a privilege to have met you & the ever beautiful Arlene, 35 years ago.
As a young couple Roshy & I looked up to your relationship both with each other and your children as a guide, for our lives.
Thanks for the memories.

When we worked together Cedric whenever I saw you I would immediately smile because I knew I was about to hear one or two of your cheeky and funny jokes and sure enough you didn’t disappoint :-)) You were always there to have a chat and listen and give good advice no matter how busy you were, a gentleman in every sense. You and your beautiful Arlene are “relationship goals” to many, such a beautiful couple and family, I feel honoured to have met and know them, your legacy will continue through your loving children. You will be missed Cedric by many but I know when you are thought of we will all smile with happy and fond memories of a great man. RIP my friend xx

Dalryn Van Cuylenberg on 15 January, 2024 at 5:12pm

Dearest Arlene, and Cedric’s gorgeous children.
