He was a hardworking man despite losing his left arm at the age of 20. Aggie then became his left arm and together they went on to live a happy life. They built and enjoyed their cottage in Holiday Hill. Over the years Cecil was a very successful man and started his own company Magtek in 1991, which is now passed down to his devoted son Cecil Jr.

His Journey’s Just Begun
Don’t think of him as gone away his journey has just begun; life holds so many facets this earth is only one. Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. Think how he must be wishing that we could know today how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. & think of him living in the hearts of those he touched…for nothing loved is ever lost and he was loved so much.
