A hardworking man, having retired from Sandia Laboratories after 30 years, was well travelled. Cruises with his wife were his most favorite trips. He loved music, always playing guitar and singing, or just listening to the radio. Cecil was also strong in his faith and his beliefs, only matched by his love of his family and his beloved dog, Chika.

His son, Steve & wife Vicky of Albuquerque, son Ray & wife Sheila of Aurora, CO. His three grandchildren; Leanne & husband Carlos of Aurora, CO; Jamie of Aurora, CO; Drew & his wife Amber of Aurora, CO; and their two beautiful daughters, Cecils great-granddaughters Harlow & Hazel. Cecil was the eldest of four siblings, survived by his brothers Bill & his wife Carla; Edward & his wife Carol and his sister, Paula Espinosa & all of their children.
