Just found this really nice article from Cecil's college newspaper:

My quiet friend, Cecil. We never got to do the things we planned... such a short time together, but plenty of time for you to kick my ass at foosball.
You will be missed... damn! You already are.
Time can be an illusion. I was sure there was plenty to get to know you better, and skydive with you for years. That too is lost. We all miss you.

Cecil, I am missing you.

I keep hoping to run into you on campus.

I keep hoping that your last moments were somehow peaceful.

I keep hoping that someone you pulled off a D.B. Cooper sort of stunt and that you're not really gone.

I wish we had more time.

Just a couple more jumps together so we could pull off all of the stuff that we talked about. I already had our next several jumps together planned. We would re-do the Western Washington jump with proper sunlight and on the next jump we'd launch a flower to 360 to flower to eagle to spock and carve. You were finally ready to start trying to turn some points.
