Rest in peace uncle Cecil, as you join your Savior and rejoin Sis, I know you are at peace because you are not having to endure the trials of this world here below. But trust and believe, we, your family, we will carry on your fight and mission to ensure the well being of your grandkids. Thank you for being an example of what it means to be a true Christian, in that we are not saved because we are perfect but rather in spite of our imperfections...which is why we appreciate the gift of salvation even more. Thanks for showing us an exmaple of how to walk that walk. Love you Cecil!

I can only speak the prasies of this GREAT man. He loved his family and friends more than anything. I am not a member of his family. However He always treated me like I was. The memories that I hold and always will are all wonderful. I know that he was an awesome friend to me and would do anything for anyone. You will be greatly missed!

It is easy to defame someones character when they are no longer here to defend themselves. He was a beloved father, son, brother, uncle and friend. He was a Vietnam Veteran, something he was very proud of, and an avid supporter of our military. He had more character in his little finger than most people possess in their whole being. Say what you have to say, lies and such, but do not judge, lest not you be judged, as the Good Book says. By his testimony and faith, all who knew him knew his love for God and his family. I do not even question for a second where he is now. I know he is with our Heavenly Father. Say what you are going to say, only an idiot would question his character. Anyone that really knew him knows exactly how he was and where he is today. Everyone everywhere has arguments and such, but when it came to his family,and his friends, and most of all his God, he was loyal, loving and always ready to give anyone a hand. Rest in peace Uncle Cecil. You are loved and will always be remembered for the man you were by all who knew.

Sad that even in death a supposed pastor of a church could not acknowledge his first born daughter and her 3 children. I commend his service to our country, but his character as a man and as a man of god leave a lot to be desired. I hope he is ready to meet his maker.

An the fact that u speak ill of a dead man on a computer an were afraid to say ne thing to his face speaks a whole lot of ur character don't it? An in case ur wondering who this is, this is jr. Come say it to my face!

Who are u to talk about the character of a man? You are the biggest hipocrite ever. You have no valor. Not now. Not ever. We know who you are. This coming from a guy that cheated on his dying wife and had a kid he wouldn't even see or support till he was 18. So who's the one that didn't acknowledge a kid? Those who live in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones. And again, about the character of a man, why wait until someone passes away before you speak? Interesting?
