What a nice, quiet and well loved man. I often think about Cec and Donna and what a wonderful marriage they had. 63 years of total devotion and companionship. I loved working with Donna at Orange Hi and Stan and I enjoyed spending time with such a nice couple. I know that Donna's loving children and grandchildren will help her through this difficult time.

Our love and prayers are with you. We remember Cecil so well and his wonderful gift of helping us with christmas wagons and bicyles as we lived on Milford St. What a legacy of love for his family.
