Cecil was the epitome of a perfect human being. He was always joyful, humorous and as honest and loyal as it gets. Humankind has lost a true ambassador and as a long time friend of our family he will be truly missed.
Condolences to the entire Simpson family and may his soul RIP.

My Dearest Dad, It is extremely hard to believe that you left us after spending 93 wonderful years on this earth, imparting your skills, knowledge and mirth where ever you went, I miss your quiet chuckles that I can hear in my head and promise that I will never forget you and all that you have taught me. I know your greatest desire was to be united with Mom and pray that you are together and as usual you telling her stories and jokes and her laughing in glee. Oh Dad I love and miss you with all my heart, rest in peace may light perpetual shine upon you and may you rest in the loving arms of Jesus.

I lost so much when dad passed away, his comfortable arm around my shoulder, his generous love of me. Lord, stir up these wonderful memories and help me to soak in that warmth. And when I am chilled by his absence, please cover me with your love and surround me with your arms.

To our loving, funny, resilient, warrior of a grandfather and great grandfather. We will miss your laugh, your love, and genuine concern for all. You will live on for ever in our hearts and the hearts of the generations after, both through legends and true to life lessons from your amazing time on this earth. May the Lord God hold you in his loving arms for eternity.
