a great friend and a great man has passed away .. cecil was the owner of the salvage yard i got my first job at and bought numerous hot rods from .. my 69 428 r code mustang .. my 69 440 sixpack super bee,.. my first couple of pinto`s .. my bogus boss 302 comet that i took a trip thru a big ditch in when i forgot to put the nut on the steering wheel and wound up in the back seat ..most of my friends who have long ago passed away also worked there from time to time .. my best friend Eddie .. a good friend Al ,, and Jerry moore .. i was already a car nut and getting a job at a junkyard in the mid 70`s was a dream come true .. the first oil embargo was hitting and muscle cars were dirt cheap and me and friends wore out a ton of them .. we didn`t have to worry about gas as we drained every wreck that came into the yard ..cecil encouraged us every bit of the way even though he was`nt so much a car guy at the time .. he just was amused at us kids .. he later became quite a car guy and will leave an imaculate 67 427 vette to his only grandson who is about 18 years old .. he will be missed as has all my friends who have gone before
