April 14, 2019 at 10:47 amExcuse my delay in acknowledging Cecil’s passing, just learned about it reading my Building Tradesman newspaper. I wish to express my deepest condolences to his family. As a young traveling journeyman electrician I was fortunate to work under Cecil in the summer of 1984 at the old Grand River Oldsmobile plant. In my 30 years in the trade Cecil was one of the nicest and most considerate foreman I ever worked for. He was truly a wonderful person and I remember him fondly.
