I remember Cecil as always ready to get a crew together and to go to work. Always with a smile and enthusiasm. There was never a dull moment around Cecil.

So many fond memories are held by my family, especially by my husband and son David. He was such a kidder and always found a way to make them laugh. Allan still talks about the time Cecil came to LA and met us for dinner it was quite a dinner; Cecil ate two lobster dinners then joked about stopping on the way out of town for coffee and dessert! The topping on the cake was while we were waiting for the Valet to bring our cars and Cecil told us that he had left $3,000 under the floor mat of his truck -- can you imagine doing something like this in LA?? But that was Cecil, he trusted everyone. We will miss him dearly and will hold a very special place in our hearts as well as the hearts of his family and many friends that were fortunate to have had him in their lives. Sharon, Ric, Curtis and Shelly you were very lucky to have had him as a husband and father. He will always be with you and watch over you and his grandchildren. With all our love to all of you.
