He was born on the Camas Prairie of Idaho. Although his mother passed away when he was a toddler, Cecil, his two brothers, and father persevered on the prairie, farming wheat. He graduated from Boise High School, earned a football scholarship to attend Gooding College, and graduated from Links Business College. In 1939 Cecil moved to Fowler. He was drafted into the U.S. Army just prior to WWII and was assigned to the 75th Artillery Unit in the Aleutian Islands in Alaska. He married the love of his life, Naomi Opal Gourley, on a weekend furlough on March 2, 1942. Cecil and Naomi brought two beautiful daughters into the world, Dorothy Jane and Kathy Jean. After the war, Cecil returned to Fowler and was appointed Postmaster in 1947. He served in this position with great joy and enthusiasm for 27 years. He was known for his friendly service, even personally delivering packages on Christmas Eve. Cecil was also a member of the National League of Postmasters, an association which he served in every capacity including state president. After retiring from the Post Office, Cecil enjoyed working in the community at Sig's clothing store for ten years. Aside from his professional life, Cecil truly loved and was deeply committed to serving others. He was a founding member of the Y's Men's Club in 1947, a service club of the YMCA which raised funds for youth activities, and remained a member for 50 years. Cecil began a Junior High boys club which provided encouragement, guidance, and fun for these young men. He was a devoted sports fan, attending most high school games, track meets, and little league events. From 1988 to 2005, Cecil volunteered at Marshall Elementary School mentoring and tutoring first grade students... being available for a hug, filled him with joy. Beyond his daily school duties, he spent two afternoons a week at Kids Club at The Presbyterian Church of Fowler, making certain that each child felt welcome and important. Cecil's service and heart was recognized in 1969 when he received Fowler's "Citizen of the Year" award. Likewise, in 2004, he was given the title of "Silent Servant of the Year" for his volunteer work with children. His public service was a reflection of what he carried inside. He was incredibly kind, honest, loving and faith-minded. He was a faithful member of The Presbyterian Church of Fowler and served as an elder, usher, greeter, and was an inspirational high school Sunday School teacher. He was a loving husband, father, and devoted "Grandad". Cecil's ever ready humor and wit was enjoyed by everyone and won him many friends. His trademark was his dapper style, wearing a coat and tie daily. He was a wonderful storyteller, avid crossword puzzle enthusiast, and collector of stamps, seasonal ties, and baseball caps. Cecil is preceded in death by Naomi, his wife of 64 years; and his daughter Kathy. He will be remembered by his daughter, Dorothy Jane Fox and her husband Bud; grandchildren, Lindsay Fox, Kristin Fox and her husband, Joel Forsythe, and Melissa Symington and her husband Scott; and great-grandson Samuel. They will all continue Cecil's legacy of love and serving those in their communities. A Memorial Service to celebrate Cecil's life will be held at The Presbyterian Church of Fowler on Saturday, March 10, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. Remembrances may be made in his name to The Presbyterian Church of Fowler, 408 E. Merced St., Fowler, CA 93625. WALLIN FUNERAL HOMES Fowler, CA 834-2531 Published in the Fresno Bee from 2/25/2007 - 3/4/2007. www.FresnoBee.com
