I knew Cecil and thought a lot of him. Been know him for 46 years. I was married to his nephew the late JT Compton. When I passed his house and seen him out I would stop by to see how he was doing. He always met me with a kind smile. Cecil also has another great nephew James T Compton, Jr and a great great nephew Bret Mason Compton. Those two are left to cherish his memory. Rest in peace Cecil.
