Cecil was a very special salesperson. He was so kind and cooperative and we appreciate all he did for us at White Brothers Grocery in Wynne.
A big thanks to him and sympathy to his family.

Your dad was the only minister that could get my dad to go to church. He was a great man of God. Everyone loved him. My condolences to his family.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I can't begin to tell
you how much I loved your dad. He was one of the sweetest men,
besides my dad, that I have ever known. I know you will miss him
greatly.
Love,
Peggy Irby
Cecil and my late husband worked together at Yarnell's Ice Cream Company, then much later Cecil became a member of my Sunday School Class at First United Methodist Church in Searcy so I have known him many years. My condolences to his family at this time.
