Cecil Ralph Staton was a family man whose door was always open. He was a good provider for family and friends in need whether it was one night or one year, you were always welcomed. His generosity will be missed.
Cecil was proudly employed with the United States Post Office for 14 years, and went on to work as an aircraft mechanic with Corpus Christi Army Depot and retired after 18 years. He also spent his final career employed with the prison system in Beeville.
Cecil enjoyed bowling, golf, fishing for pass time. An occasional drink or two was always welcomed with a cigar in his pocket.
Place of rest at Memory Gardens Cemetery, Corpus Christi, Texas.
