Paul Ciceri, Canadian Turf Official, Dies Suddenly LONG BRANCH, Orit, Aug. 29. A pall of gloom hung over the racing secretarys office and administration building at Long Branch this morning when it was learned that Paul Ciceri had passed away suddenly at his home Friday evening from a heart attack. At the time of his passing he occupied the position of chief clerk for the Ontario Racing Commission. A former wholesale importer, the late Mr. Ciceri entered the sport as an owner many years back and later he occupied several official capacities on the Ontario circuit. For some years he was racing secretary at both Stamford Park and the Hamilton Jockey Club. In addition to his astuteness he was gifted with a fine sense of humor and his absence from the sport that he loved so well will be keenly felt by his associates and countless friends. He is survived by his wife, Theresa May, daughters Mrs. J. P. Sheedy and Mrs. B. Duncan, and his sons Charles and Paul, Jr. Body is resting at F. Rosar Funeral Home, 467 Sherbourne Street, this city.
