Cecil was a wonderful man, we loved having coffee with him, with cookies or fresh friut. Cecil always had great stories to tell about growing up in Iowa.
We will all deeply miss him.

Cecil was a lovely man. He often came over to have dinner with our family, never without some sort of tasty food offering and a warm smile, as well as kindness and wit. He lived such a long, healthy, and independent life that he has been (and will continue to be) a role model for everyone who knew him. May we all live as well as Mr. Cecil! My thoughts are with his family and my grandmother.
