While I never had the pleasure of meeting Cecil, I know the kind of man he was from the relationship I've built with his wonderful family. Tim, Toni, and Tammy, I am very sorry for your loss and praying for you all.

Thinking of you all. Praying for peace and comfort. Uncle Cecil will be missed by so many. What a great man with the best sense of humor. He was funny. Anyone who had the honor of knowing him knew they were surrounded by greatness. Cecil was always so cheerful and giving. His work ethics was that of which we'd all want our own children to have. As a kid I remember that when it was time for bed he'd jump up and say goodnight. It didn't matter, when Cecil was tired that was it. I loved that....

To a Gentleman who served his Country, Married and raised his kids to have respect, compassion and big hearts. Because of you we all have been blessed to go to school with them and stay friends even after all of these years. Your children grew up to be fine adults and they have been blessed to have and call you Dad. Rest In Peace Sir!

I’ll never forget meeting him at the Art Festival in Wyandotte when Toni was raising funds for the 3 Day Walk for breast cancer. What a great man. There’s no doubt that he made a memorable impression on everyone he met. His memory lives on in his family and friends. What a beautiful legacy! Sending love, hugs and prayers of peace to all who knew and loved him.
