    Sonny, to one of the best friends we have ever had, we will miss you with all of our heart, the man who could always make you laugh, Sonny once told me the best party he had ever been to was his 40th birthday and we have always been so glad we could give him that memory. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family.

    You have heard the statement “when they made him, they broke the mold”. Well that sums up Sonny. He was a friend for many years and we shared many a laughs and great times. You will be missed my friend by many, many people. Glad I had the chance to hang around with you.

    So sad to hear about the loss of Sonny. He was such a great guy with a huge heart. When we were young, he would walk me home from the Olympia Club b/c he didn’t want me to walk alone after dark. Saw him a few years ago & got to catch up with him. Such a sweet man. RIP, Sonny…

    Sonny, we certainly had some good times together. From BGHS to Fort Knox to Mineweld softball and everything in between. Those times will never be forgotten. I’m sorry we lost touch. Rest in Peace old friend, you have earned it.

    Pam, I’m sorry I won’t be able to attend the Celebration of Life. We will be going out of town on the 9th and won’t return in time. I have very fond memories of both you and Sonny. He was a good man.

    My heart aches every time I think of you being gone! I hear you yelling for me and telling me you love me! So many memories I have of us! I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Loved having you living with us after Kurstin was born. You helped us out with the garage & the sidewalk! You could always put a smile on my face. You even named me after “Sara Smiles” song. I lost the one that always told me the truth! Even it was things I didn’t need to hear I will never forget your love for me and my family. Today we Celebrate Your Life! I just wish you were here to be with me in person! Miss you so much! Love you Uncle Sonny!!!
