Then he co-founded Data Center Inc. in Kansas, and Pacesetter in Michigan, and was a Computer Systems Analyst for Systematics and for Alltel.
He is survived by his wife, Virginia (Dunham) Goeldner, of Maumelle; daughter, Layla Cecil Goeldner, of Saudi Arabia; son, Kevin Blake Goeldner, of Aledo, Texas; seven grandchildren, Nadia, Maria, Dania, Abdulrahman, Omar, Grace and Seth; and five great-grandchildren, Abdullah, Jena, Adam, Tariq and Sami.

a daughter, Donna Elaine Goeldner.
I hadn’t known that Cecil died, nor that his daughter’s middle name was Cecil. Must run in the family—giving girls their father’s name.
