In the early 60s, Cecil was a mentor to his youngest brother and the boys of Center Twp as their elementary school basketball coach, Little League baseball Manager and Coach and a Boy Scout Leader. Cecil moved to his beloved Treasure Island, in 1974 where he made many friends. He worked at well known beach spots such as the Sandsabar, Penguin Restaurant and Harold's in John's Pass. He worked for many years at Raymond James starting at their first building on 66th St. and moved with them to the Carillon Center. For the last 12 years he worked for the City of Treasure Island as a Causeway Toll Both operator and finally as the bridge tender on the Treasure Island bridge, "the best job I ever had."

Cecil loved all sports and was a die-hard NASCAR, Tampa Bay Rays, Buccaneers, and Lightning fan and supporter. The family thanks LifePath Hospice's Aqua Team and especially Nurse Lynne for their support and care.
