Family Tribute to Cyril Flipping
The tribute Cyril’s family have written is not a formal notice. It is a conversation, raw, honest, and full of the particular pain that only those who have lived 24 years with a loss truly understand.
They have placed their words here exactly as they feel them, and those words deserve to be shared in full:
To us you were so special, what more is there to say.
The pain is still within our hearts, as we think of you each day.
A smile can hide the tears, a laugh can hide the pain.
But nothing stops the longing, to have you back again.
To some you was just a father, to us you was our world.
No one knows the heartache that lies behind our smiles.
But we know one day we will be back in your living arms.
Remembering Cyril Flipping
Cyril Flipping is remembered by his family as a caring father, grandfather and friend whose kindness left a lasting impression on those around him. The description “big gentle giant with the biggest heart of pure gold” reflects the affection and admiration that continue to surround his memory more than two decades after his passing.
The Family Who Carry Him Forward
Twenty-four years on, Cyril is remembered with love by his children Clive, Paul, Susan, Donna, and Karl, and by the grandchildren and great-grandchildren, La-Rosa and Novella, who represent the next chapters of a family he helped create. This tribute, shared in the Swansea anniversary tributes section of the Swansea Evening Post, is their way of making sure his name is spoken, his memory is public, and his love is felt beyond the walls of their own grief.
Twenty-Four Years Later, Still Remembered
Although 24 years have passed, Cyril Flipping remains an important part of family memories and conversations. This annual tribute reflects the lasting impact he had on those closest to him and serves as a reminder that love and remembrance continue long after someone is gone.
The smiles hide the tears. The laughter hides the pain. But the love? The love has not moved. It is exactly where it always was: in the hearts of the people who knew him and lost him, and who choose, year after year, to say his name out loud.
