He was born June 22, 1933, in Glendean, Kentucky. Cecil served in the United States Army for 23 years, until he retired. Cecil was known to be altruistic; he was always concerned for the wellbeing of others. Cecil had a generous spirit, and it was his personal endeavor to befriend strangers and lend a helping hand. He was a nurturing father and grandfather, and the security net for his family. Cecil is the heart of many treasured memories for his family. He loved to cook, go fishing, and yard sale shopping. He was also a talented songwriter and enjoyed playing the acoustic guitar. For the past 40 years, Cecil has attended First Free Methodist Church of Gallatin.
