    To Glenda, Trevor, Ronald and families.

    Thoughts and sympathies are with you.
    Many fond memories of Uncle Cec particularly in my younger days when he and dad worked together cutting house blocks for fire wood and rebuilt their mother’s house.
    Both were always close.
    Fond memories.
    A long life well lived.
