Cecil graduated Thackerville High School in 1953. He will be remembered by his friends, the "Class of '53" and his Coach Edgar Wallace, for his dedication and love of basketball. He retired from Baker Oil Tools in September, 2003 after 42 years. He was respected throughout the oil industry in Oklahoma and surrounding states for his honesty, integrity and work ethics. He then started full-time the job he so dearly loved, the ministry of cooking with his wife Donna at the Midwest City Baptist Church, where he also served as Deacon. He was a Master Mason in Whitesboro, Texas, Lodge 263. He was a devoted and committed servant of the Lord and will be remembered as a witness of our Savior, Jesus Christ. The joys of his life were his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His strength, courage and faith will sustain his family and friends until we meet him again. Cecil, Daddy and Papaw will always be loved and remembered.
