  • Notes 
    • Cecil J Pretty, 81, of Shepherdsville, KY passed away Saturday, July 6, 2019. Originally from Niagara Falls, Canada was born on June 8, 1938.
      Cecil was a Sgt in the Canadian Air Force where he taught aircraft mechanics. Cecil retired from the Air Force shortly before moving to Louisville, KY in 1980. Cecil settled right in holding a couple of positions before landing a long-term career as a service technician for Air Systems in Louisville.
      Cecil was a dedicated servant to others and an avid supporter of the Loyal Order of the Moose, where he served 3 terms as Governor and was the current Administrator upon his passing. Cecil was just awarded the coveted Pilgrim Degree, the highest level of attainment for volunteers in the international organization. Less than 1% of all Moose members achieve this distinction. His sense of pride and happiness over earning his ?yellow jacket? will live on. Cecil was also a member of the Honorable Order of KY Colonels and supported many local charities.
      Cecil was known for his love of music all his life. He was the lead singer of a band in the 70?s and 80?s in Canada and it was not uncommon for his guitar to break out during family gatherings. His karaoke skills were in high demand on Thursday nights along with his love of a good two step on the dance floor. Cecil was a true friend to all that knew him and his smile and gentle affection towards others was contagious and will be sorely missed.
      Cecil was preceded in death by his mother, Lena Boone; his father, Cecil Pretty; his brother, Mike Pretty and dear nephew Christopher Cuillerier.
      Cecil is survived by his wife of 38 years, Judy Pretty; daughters, Lena Lucas (Mike); Teresa Marsala (Len); Donna Paulin (Tony); Laura Howard (Kevin); his son, Charlie Hall (Tina) and his sister Carolyn Cuillerier. He also leaves behind 10 beloved grandchildren to cherish his memory; Kyle, Justin, Julia, Ryan, Mitchell, Andreas, Emily, Lauren, Shelby and Sam.
      Funeral Arrangements are being handled by Arch L Heady at Resthaven. Visitation will be Wednesday, July 10, 2019 from 3pm-8pm and Thursday, July 11, 2019 from 10am-12noon with funeral service to follow at the funeral home at 12noon.
