I first met Cec, when I was a kid growing up in Tribune, Sask. He was a regular attendee of our local bonspiel and I remember the vibrancy of the man. Later he moved to Bengough with his work in the propane industry: he installed our furnace in our new house! But it is the Elks that brought him closer into our lives. He marched with the Weyburn Patrol Team at one of our Lodge installations. He volunteered to become our Sargent at Arms and became our Leader for the next 25+ years. We had many a trip around our great province performing at Lodges, Provincial Association and National Conventions often travelling in his black van. We saw many a sunrise!!! His final performance was to lead our team installing me a Saskatchewan Provincial President. He passed the leadership to me and we will continue to glorify Cec's legacy as long as we can! Rest in Peace Brother Cec: "Thou Good and Faithful Servant"
