He was drafted into the US Army Reserves in 1958 for a two year enlistment as a radio repairman. After his time in the Army Reserves he worked for the Boeing Company doing quality control for the Saturn 5 space program in the 60's, and was very proud of the work he did there. After his work for Boeing was finished, he returned to school to get his Master's Degree in Special Education. He taught special education at several schools on the Navajo reservation for 34 years, and was a beloved and revered teacher. Cecil's quiet mannerisms and loving heart touched the lives of countless people throughout his life and he will be sorely missed.
