    Cecil was first of all, a very good friend of mine. We worked together side by side many times. Many good times and lots of laughs and jokes. Cecil was on of the best at Sandblasting and Painting that I have ever seen. He could and did make many pieces of equipment that were totaled, burned, wrecked or whatever look like brand new machines . He could work miracles with his Sandblasting and Painting. He could fix just about anything !
    I am sure going to miss my friend.

    He was our dad! We love him. He loved us. Now he is gone. Nothing will change with our live. We will just slowly become more in the present. He is gone. We can’t speak to him. Visit him. Oh but we will feel him. Yes we will. He will continue through his spirit, vibes and energies to soothe us each individually like we all need. I love you dad. I love your Brian. I live you Anthony. I love you Nikki.

    I’m so sorry about his passing. I was a customer many years ago and was just looking him up to do more work for me. You are so right in saying that he was a perfectionist. He did fabulous work. I’m sure he will be missed by many.
