I was privileged to be able to attend Cecil (CAB) Williams' funeral at Crinken last Monday. Cecil was 90 when he married Sarah and me at Cloyne, Co Cork, on 13 March 1999. He was one time minister at Schull, West Cork, Grandpa's last parish, and Crinken church was his last parish before he retired to Portstewart, near Coleraine. It was when he and Gwen were living there that Sarah got to know them during her university years.
Sarah and I are grateful that we had the chance to meet Cecil once again in Coleraine earlier this year. Our thoughts are with his family, but as Ken Clarke said during his address at the funeral, we celebrate his life, and the fact that he has now arrived at his destination. I find people like Cecil who have been so faithful in their lives and ministry for such a long time a real inspiration.
