Cecil married the love of his life, Aggie in the year of 1962. Together they raised 5 wonderful children. Cecil loved spending his time in the outdoors hunting and cutting wood. He was a hardworking man despite losing his left arm at the age of 20. Aggie then became his left arm and together they went on to live a happy life.

His Journey’s Just Begun
Don’t think of him as gone away his journey has just begun; life holds so many facets this earth is only one. Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. Think how he must be wishing that we could know today how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. & think of him living in the hearts of those he touched…for nothing loved is ever lost and he was loved so much.
So sorry for your loss.

To all of Cecil’s Family, I have know Cecil for many years. He loved a good chat there was always a smile on his face. He worked hard all his life and was very proud of all his family. I remember when I worked in Long HR. I use to make cartoon characters out of ply wood. He asked me if I wood make a set of Santa Claus and Reindeers for his youngest Daughter. When they were done he said Terry how much do I owe you, I said my friend the smile on that little girls face is payment enough he was overjoyed I served Cecile at Service Canada and helped get in and out and to the Taxi . My Sincere Condolences to all the family. You are at Peace now .May your Gentle Soul Rest In Peace. Gone But Not Forgotten. Terry and BettyO’Keefe Jerseyside Placentia.
My condolences to the King Family. Your dad was a remarkable man. After having what most people would consider a handicap, I witness him do things that most able bodied people would never even attempt. From dressing a whole moose and having it quartered and hung up before we could get in the country to help him. Or the long rough ride on Snowmobile out to Bald head ice fishing. To this day I still wonder how he did it. He will be missed.
Deepest condolences to the King family. Cecil succeeded in many difficult projects and earned the respect of many people. He will be missed dearly by those who knew him. God Bless.
