Mr. Sonny was always there with a heartfelt smile and conversation to lift your spirit. We have been neighbors with his son for 25 years, and it was always a pleasure to see him and his wife, when they would visit. He enjoyed passing time during his visits working in the yard, trimming, planting, walking the dog, just generally being outside.
His warm smile and kind heart will be sorely missed.
