I'll always remember our visits many years ago at the newspaper in Clinton; and running into each other over the years catching up with family and BRHS news. You will be missed.

The service for Cecil was so very nice. I know all of you will miss him and that mischievous sparkle in his eyes! I feel sure that he is playing "Pick a Pocket" with someone with that $5... So very thankful that we knew him and his character! Love and hugs to all of you!

Steve, Wendy, Mike, Jeff, Matt and the rest of the Williams family, please accept my deepest condolences. I will always remember his smile, telling jokes, and the corn dog stand. He was a wonderful man and a great father. RIP Cecil you will be missed.
Love and hugs to all of you,

Dear Family, Cecil was an amazing man. I enjoyed our visits when he would deliver printing supplies to our office. He always wore a smile and never left without sharing a joke. He would tell us of the red bird that was always around which he found comfort in knowing that was Rhonda paying a visit. I was so very happy when he found love again and remarried. He was so in love. He was truly a breath of fresh air. Look for the red birds, trust me they will be around. Rest in peace my friend until we meet again.
