He served in the Second Quorum of the Seventy from June 6, 1991 to April 2, 1994, and in the First Quorum of the Seventy from April 2, 1994 to October 4, 2003.
He was born on July 11, 1933 in Santaquin, Utah, and lived in many locations in Utah, Nevada, and California, as the family followed Cree-L’s father in his construction work. When the family lived in Orem, Utah, Cree-L met Ila MacDonald and made the decision to be active in the Church. He and Ila were married in 1953 and became the parents of five children.
