Hunting was his passion, he hunted deer, birds, rabbits, coons and squirrels with family and friends. He enjoyed all types of fishing but most of his time was spent at Roaring River State Park fly fishing with his kids and brother, Glen.  Cecil enjoyed tying his own flies which he started at the age of six, he also enjoyed tying flies for friends and family. He loved planting a garden for the family in the spring, it was always beautiful. Spending time outdoors was a given, he enjoyed just sitting under a shade tree watching the wildlife. More than anything he loved his family, especially his kids and grandchildren.
