    So sorry to hear of Cecil’s passing. We were school mates @ Fuller High. He was one of the good guys.

    Sad to hear of Cecil’s passing. He and my dad, Sam Bass, were old-time fishing buddies. I went to school with Keith. Will remember him with glad thoughts.

    Prayers for the family. I have known Cecil all my life. He and my grandpa Monk did many things together.

    Our sincere sympathy to Cecil’s family and friends. Special thoughts and prayers for Keith and Karen and their children. Cecil was a good and soft spoken man in our community and grew the best tomatoes in the state. May God rest his soul and give comfort and peace to his family.

    My thoughts and prayers to the family of Cecil Bennett. To my brother in law Keith Bennett on the loss of his father, and to my sister Karen Baer Bennett on the loss of her father in law, and to my nephew Brendan Bennett (Socket – cat) and niece Kristen Bennett Blackwell and Brandon (Savannah – dog) on the loss of their grandfather!

    And now may the Peace of God, which transcends All Human Understanding, guard and keep All Our Hearts and Minds in You, Christ Jesus. Amen!
