Susi (Redman) McGhee says
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…

Sara says
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!!!
