Wyley Jenkins, Cecil and Lanny Collett drove together for years. Boy did I hear some stories on those 3.
I have so many good memories of Cecil. He was a good friend and coworker. I always enjoyed working with him. He would make my day better every time. In later years it was always fun to meet him,Killer Bell, Coy Chapman and others at the Dairy Queen for coffee. So sorry for your loss Glynda, Rhonda, and Mark. My prayers are with you.
Sincerely sorry to hear of Cecil’s passing. My deepest sympathy to the family. I remember Cecil shooting a few of his firearms off the back porch at targets he had set up while listening to Elvis on a 45.
Prayers for the family.
