I worked with Cepada over 25 years ago and loved talking sports with that guy. He started coming to my house to watch games. Cepada was funny, kind and helpful and he will be missed. Rest in peace my friend.

My wife and I were friends with Cepada back in the mid 70´s when we both worked at the Cleveland County Boys Club. It was always a delight to see all the boys´ energy and excitement during our many activities. We remember Cepada and the boys fondly. We want to share our love and caring during this time of grief. May God uphold and bless you richly during this time of remembrance.
