Cecil was born on September 26, 1936 in Renfrew, Ontario to Ivan and Mary (Peever) Hoffman. He graduated from Guelph Agricultural College in 1959 with a degree in Dairy Administration. On December 22, 1967, he married Anne Carol Coull. They raised one son, Matthew, and four daughters, Samantha, Martha, Janet and Elizabeth. Cecil loved to work and his entrepreneurial endeavours were rewarded by his perspicacity, persistence and diligence. Cecil was a staunch supporter of the Edmonton Oilers, the Citadel Theatre and the Edmonton Symphony. He was passionate about fitness. He loved to ski and work out.
