Many people from various organizations, too vast to mention, showed their love and respect to a man and his family who for 54 years have been solid citizens of PVE, making it a better city in which to live. Thank you, Cecil and family!

Classic car enthusiasts added to the celebration. PVE can be proud of those who took the time to honor a valuable significant citizen.
