Thank you Monty, for sharing your touching memories:
I intended sending this message weeks ago, but two cataract surgeries and slow recovery prevented me from doing so. I don't have access to Facebook so I could not contribute a fitting tribute to my 'Brother' Cecil. However, you know how I cherished being included among his close friends.
I was fortunate to be one the "Brothers" whom Cecil associated with during his residence in Chicago. Cecil not only occasionally beat us at dominoes, but he was relied on to enliven our group conversations with wisdom and humor. I enjoyed meeting with Cecil, my natural brother, Lesney, David Worrell, Milton
Worrell Neville Dehaan and Colin Cholmondeley. Lesney and David went ahead of Cecil, and the three of them are now in a better place, but the remaining members of our group surely miss each of them.
Ruby and I send our condolence to you and the entire Davis family. We hope you are coping well with your immeasurable loss. Keep on keeping on.
Sincerely, Monty
