Harold E. Cecrle, of 43 Dutch Ed Ln, Lander Wyoming, went home to be with the Lord on March 4, 2026. He was 96 and died at home, of natural causes, surrounded by family.

He was born on October 8, 1929 to Robert F. and Deloris M. Cecrle in Knox County Indiana. He loved horseback riding, wood working, hunting, and fishing.

Over time he worked as a carpenter in addition to working for Bendix, Uni-dynamics, Motorola, Intel and eventually co-owned Photon, and Three S that designed and produced the machines that cut silicon wafers into computer chips.
