Cecil was a devout Christian who walked in faith with Jesus throughout his life.  Known for his strength, exceptional ability and amazing memory, he was humble, hardworking, trustworthy and loyal.                                                                         

A quiet man of great wisdom with a pure heart and strong character, he was dedicated to family and friends speaking ill of none.  A significant soul radiating the joy and peace of his deep faith.  A dedicated family man who loved to spend time with his children and grandchildren, teaching all he knew.  A gifted athlete and avid sportsman who loved the outdoors, especially gardening and fishing with his family.  A talented craftsman teaching and helping all who asked, he especially loved working in the church. An unparalleled authority on baseball who readily shared his knowledge and enjoyed coaching.

Cecil was a strong and courageous man who served in the US Navy during WWII Pacific Theatre.

He retired as a carpenter from the Maintenance Division of Graniteville Company.

The family would like to extend special thanks to the staff of Traditions Hospice.
