— Jane Aultman, July 3, 2020To the Smith Family, Our most sincere condolences. Our prayers are with you. I spent most of my youth as the next door neighbour of Cecil and June. I will always remember his great generosity and kindness. He helped me repair my bike, was a good tipper (I was the paperboy) and he always had good advice and kind words. I remember spending time at the house, playing boggle, listening to guitar, and playing with David when he'd come to visit. Once Cecil asked me if I could get him a piece of beech wood (I worked for an arbourist) so he could make a mallet. Well, I know he made at least 2 of them, because he gave me one, which I use to this day. I have many great memories of this wonderful man. He will be missed greatly. Again, our prayers are with you all. God Bless you. Joe, Tara, Grace, Holly & Abby Leone.
— Joe Leone & Family, July 3, 2020Cecil and June were dear friends of my mom and dad. They loved to get together for a visit and go out for lunch together. Cecil will be remembered by all his Tweedsmuir friends as a real gentleman who was always ready to step in and help out. HEather and Randy Speers
