I can only reflect back in my life in the time that I was fortunate to work with my friend Cecil. We enjoyed working on projects together at Eaton Fabricating and so much of it was for the enjoyment of others. If you are a member of many of the veterans groups in and around Lorain, Medina,and Morgan counties all you have to do is look around at all the things that were provided by him in his lifetime. I do not believe that an obituary could even be written to fully describe Cecil Roach's accomplishments. He will always have a place in my heart as well as others. Tim
