Cecil Keith Main was born March 3, 1942, to Rose and Keith Main in Kalispell. He passed away at home on May 23, 2010, after a struggle with cancer. After graduating from Flathead County High School in 1960, Cecil attended the University of Montana. He enlisted in the U.S. Army, spending two years active duty and an additional two years in the Reserves. He married Cheryl Morrow on Dec. 29, 1966. Cecil worked on the seven-mile train tunnel in Trego and from there he went to rental and sales of heavy equipment in Seattle, Portland and Spokane. In 1974 he went to work for the Spokane County Road Department. ( Ya know, Cecil was the guy that always plowed your driveway shut with snow just after you had shoveled it out. ) Cecil and Cheryl didn t have any kids, so in 1983 Cecil built their dream house in Newman Lake, Wash., to put his stamp on this earth. In 2004, Cecil retired from the County to take up his real passions, whether it be at Liberty Lake or Meadow Wood golf courses in spring and summer, and bowling league in fall and winter. Cecil was league treasurer for Liberty Lake and Meadow Wood golf courses and also bowling treasurer for two bowling leagues. He also loved fishing, hunting and playing pinochle or cribbage. He was preceded in death by his parents.
