September 5, 2021 at 5:41 pmTom and I are so very sorry to learn of the passing of Cecil. We have known him since our days as next door neighbors in 1964 at LSU. We shared laughs, food, and football with he and Patsy and loved every minute of those times. It is with a sad heart that we remember those times. He will be missed. Prayers to all and please know how much we are thinking of you.
