Cecil and I were very close friends. In fact most of the time he either
slept at our house or vice versus.
we had a lot of good times together and I also always enjoyed his
Dads company. I did not know his Mother so much but always heard
she was a fine lady.
While Cecil and I were in the Army his Dad came to visit us and that
meant a lot to me.
Cecil will be missed but he will always be in my memories
Our condolences to Cec’s family,
Nancy and John
