Falling Asleep of V. Rev. Cyril Loeb

The Greek Orthodox Metropolis of San Francisco announces the passing of V. Rev. Cyril Loeb on September 4, 2010. Father Loeb, a distinguished retired clergyman who resided in Thousand Oaks, California, was vacationing in Europe at the time of his death. “We are deeply saddened with the passing of Father Cyril, as he was a dynamic leader of several communities in our Metropolis, as well as serving as a former Chancellor and Executive Director of Saint Nicholas Ranch and Retreat Center. He was loved as a pastor and friend, and his passing leaves a void for many people whose lives he touched,” stated His Eminence Metropolitan Gerasimos of San Francisco.
