So sorry, Auntie Norma, Scott, Connie, Vonnie, and Bonnie, to read today of Uncle Cecil's passing. I was most touched by him when he told stories of his escapades with my Dad, and my Mom. I learnt they went to any lengths for their girl's (wives). I will always remember the tractors, trucks, fields, and political rallies. Maybe some duck hunting too. May you all feel comforted at this time, that he lived a full, and touching life. Lanie (McEachern)

We extend to all the McLeod family our sympathy and kindest regards. I had the pleasure of dealing with Cec on a much used 1964 JD 4020. Turned out it had lots of problems. When I asked about it he replied in Cec McLeod fashion---"we'll fix them all"---and he did. I learned much as a young man that day about warranty---there was no fine print--no print at all. He said "Warrented"--with Cec there was nothing to add. When I was in PC McLeod's at the parts outer, Wyn often had great (and entertaining) visits with Cec. We have fond memories of Norma at the many PC functions in which we were involved. Our best regards to you all.

to Connie, Scott, Vonni, Sandy & all of your families, my condolences on the passing of both you Mom & Dad. I hadn't realized that Norma was going through cancer treatments. I will miss getting "cheerful" call from her every so often. She was certainly a vibrant person.
God Bless.... Beulah Stinson (Glen's widow)

Always enjoyed visiting with you and Cec-my late husband Mel appreciated him and his "take" on things-always an interesting conversation whether it be business or politics!
I looked forward to meeting you Norm at JD events or machinery dealer conventions-

Norma and Family, On behalf of the PC Party of Saskatchewan I wish to offer you our sincere condolences. I learned what being a "PC" was all about during the 1960's and early 70's by being able to associate with people like the McLeod's. There are many great memories of Cec at conventions and meetings that will never be forgotten.

To Norma and Family, remember the D-Days, calling on the dealership, meeting with Cec and the boys all good memories. Then when we met in a Bengough snow storm to give him his 50 year pin in the Shrine. Cec always had that gleam in his eye and a smile on his face,and you knew when he was seriously making the point. God Bless.

Dear Norma & Family, One of my colourful memories of Cec, is of him, Norma and my Mom talking (with great volumn and zeal) of John Diefenbaker. As many of you know, Cec & Norma moved and worked hard in these circles. Sask and Canada has lost a man who showed up each day, shared his vision and his passion. Being a Canadian pioneer was often a darned challenging life. Thank you Cec & Family for your help in shaping your community, your province and Canada. We send prayers for Norma & Family in this time of loss and sorrow.

Ron and Wendy Henheffer

Our sympathy is extended to all the family members at this time of sorrow. Cec was truly a unique individual, always full of encouragement and showed a real interest in what was happening in our lives. I can't recall a time that I left a visit with Cec that I wasn't left pondering and admiring his unique and enlightening approach to life. We will miss him.
