Rarely will a quit mans life be so loud and bold.As a stone in a calm lake his life created may ripples that positively made a difference in everyone,in memories he lives on!

Although technically he was my grandfather, Cecil was always a Dad to me, as I lived with my grandparents and they were as wonderful any any "parents" could have been. Cecil filled the role of my Father in helping to raise me and provide a great home and a father's guidance. He was a loving and good-humored, quiet and calm person, a blessing to me as a child, and as an adult to both me and my husband, sons, and grandson Donovan - we will dearly love and be grateful to Cecil always, and to wonderful Ronnie also, for the blessing she too became in Cecil's and in our lives. Our hearts & prayers are with her today and every day.
