Cecil Leonard Johnson, Sr.

I always enjoyed working with Cecil on the many rate cases Gulf States had in the '80's and early '90's. He was always even-keeled and unflappable and a true professional. He will be greatly missed.

Cecil was a kind and gentle man. Always a professional. I'm proud to have known him.

Cecil was a very special man. I had the privilege of being his secretary at Gulf States until my retirement. He was the best boss anyone could ever have. He was a honest, gentle, fair, intelligent gentleman who loved his family. My condolences to his boys and all his family.

Cecil has been a family friend since our kids were on a swim team together years ago. His son Bob is still a good friend of our son Henry.
We send our condolences to all the family. Cecil was a wonderful family man, teacher, friend, and a man of exceptional integrity and kindness. We will miss him as we still miss his dear wife Susan.
Sincerely, Pam and Steve Saur

I worked with Cecil for many years in the Legal Department at Gulf States. He was always a true professional, kind and fair to all. He loved his boys!

Cecil was a dear friend and valued colleague. I miss him terribly. My thoughts and prayers are with the Johnson family.

Cecil was a wonderful husband to my sister, a wonderful father to his sons and the best brother in law I could have asked for. He was one of the smartest, kindest people I have ever had the honor of knowing. I pray for peace for his sons and for comfort in their memories. Rest in peace Cecil, you will be greatly missed. Give Susan and William a hug from us I know they were waiting for you at the pearly gates.

Your absence in the department is greatly felt. Thank you for being a wonderful colleague, friend, and instructor to Aaron and Elise. We are all deeply saddened, and our thoughts and prayers are with your loved ones during this difficult time.

Cheryl, Aaron, & Elise Johnson

The entire English Department seems to have something missing since Cecil left last semester. We will continue to miss him.

Cecil was a wonderful student, colleague, and friend. He will be greatly missed.
