Years later Cecil remarried and added two stepson’s to his family. He moved the family to Alaska where he was a truck driver supporting the efforts to build The Great Alaska Pipeline and a few short years later settled his family in Central, Washington. He was an avid outdoorsman, who generously passed on his hunting and fishing skills to his children. Throughout his life he would often return to the north and fish the waters of Southeast Alaska with his oldest son. When at home in Washington, it was rare not to find a daughter or grandchild besides him in his boat. Cecil enjoyed horses, his first job as a growing boy was running the ponies at a horse track. He was a wonderful father, grandfather, and a friend to many. He may be gone, but what he’s left us we hold dear...a lifetime of memories. We love you, you will be dearly missed.
