Not sure what to say?

Dear Kathy, I must offer my sincere condolences on the passing of your husband. I was so sorry to hear you had to deal with the tragedy of Alzheimer's. My mother also died of that disease so I am more than familiar with the pain you & your family must have gone through. I hope you find peace in the memories you had of a wonderful & fulfilling life with you & your son. Please know I am sending positive thoughts your way. Take care.

You were best man at our wedding 50 years ago and stayed that way. Will cherish all our travels and memories. Love you, George & Terry

I first met Cecil around 1965. Cecil, Paul Maker and I hung around together for a couple of years prior to me entering into the Navy. Also, that's how I met his sister, Andrea, and later Andrea and I were married. At that time Cecil was into cars as were most of us kids. I believe he had a 59 Chevy, Paul had a 56 Ford and I had a 53 Chevy. We were always working on our cars. I knew Don, his Mom, Rita and of course, Andrea. We were pals. And I met Kathy around the same time as she worked at...

You will be sorely missed brother.

My father and Cecil's father coached a Babe Ruth team I was no to runner up in the Babe Ruth World Series in 1962. I have nothing but fond memories of Cecil's father. I'm sorry for your loss.

We will miss his happy face. Always smiling and ready to tell a story or play a joke on you. Our heartfelt condolences to you. Love Patty and Joe

Wishing you peace in the days ahead as you mourn Cecil's passing. We will remember him for exuberance for life and the many stories he had to tell about his adventures.
