They then moved back to Watford City, ND where their twin
sons were born. Two years later, they welcomed their first
daughter, and two years after that, their second daughter
was born.
In 1942, they moved to Billings, where they have resided
since. Cyril worked for Gamble Skogmo Warehouse for 39 years
and then part-time for Montgomery Wards for several years.
He was a talented handyman who could fix anything. Cyril
enjoyed traveling, fishing, and spending time with his
family.
