Circal 2000
April 23, 1936 - January 24, 2026
Cecil was a member of SafeHarbourChurch for almost its entire existence and a diligent volunteer with its persons-with-Aids food bank, MannaForHealth. He followed Manna to its next home, StJohnsUnitedChurch, and remained a volunteer with it until shortly before his passing.
He was a regular participant in ElderBerries events, again, since their beginning.
Here's the message from St. John's, February 28, 2026.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Cecil Publicover.
Most of you will know Cecil from his presentation of our offerings every Sunday morning. He was a long- time and very valued member of our congregation.
Cecil was an avid and award winning gardener and loved to share his passion for flowers and plants with everyone who knew him.
We will miss Cecil's quiet wit, kind manner and excellent gardening tips.
Information on a service for Cecil will be communicated at a later date.
In 2007, VanceMaxwell did an oral history of Cecil Publicover. The 23,000 word transcript is available by request.
