Messages of Condolence

Avis, Cec was the coach who had the most influence on me as a young boy and will always be remembered with fondness. We appreciated that you and Cec always remembered us with a Christmas card. So sorry to read of his passing. Condolences to you and your family.

My grandmother was Myrril Edith Fairbairn (nee McClure) and my mom was her daughter Zona Myrril Sadleir (nee Fairbairn). My sister Laurel and I wish to extend our sincere condolences to Cecil's family. I knew Aunt Dean and Uncle Milo. Would anyone in your family know the whereabouts of the McClure Family Bible that came over from County Antrim, Ireland in 1820 with John and Catherine McClure? I know it exists, saw it once but have no idea what happened to it. We would dearly love to have a look at the pages and the dates, signatures, families, etc. Again, please accept our condolences.

- Marla Myrril Stang (nee Sadleir)

We live in the same Condo Complex as the Huffman. Cec was a very kind person and always made sure to say hello every time we saw him in elevator or around the mailbox. We loved having his presence at our Condo AGM for he would always appreciate all the neighbors We will miss him dearly. We pray his soul rest in peace and god give Avis the strength and courage for this great loss.
