He married Betty Joe Hamm on May 4, 1963. Cecil, or “Bud” as he was known to many, was an automotive technician for over 40 years, mainly working at dealerships.

His constant companion was a longhaired Chihuahua named Peaches.

Micheal & Renee & family, I want to tell you how very sorry I am about the passing of Bud! He will truly be missed by everyone.

I’m so sad & my thoughts & prayers are with at this difficult time! Love Lisa

So very sorry for your dad's passing . he was well liked and loved by many . I know i will miss him every day, I talked with him every morning and every night for years . He always called babydoll

We were almost brothers. Our mother and father married, making us double-first cousins . We were both born in Olinger, Virginia . I was born four years earlier, but loved visiting you “just up the road”. Unfortunately, you moved and we grew up on opposite sides of the USA. Many miles separated us, but I always knew that I had some beautiful double-first cousins in Texas! RIP “Bud”, I love all of you.

So sorry for your loss. Cecil was a great neighbor and we will miss him dearly.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
