I remember Sonny way with the Spray YMCA, playing basketball in the 60's. He was always the same, friendly, willing to help or seeing him at the Lynrock Golf Club. He touched so many lives. May God comfort the family during this time of loss.

Our deepest sympathy at Sonny's passing. Billy Bennett and I were making plans to visit Sonny when the weather got better. We enjoyed working with Sonny at Dupont and meeting on occasions to share a meal. He will be missed.

It was always a great time to watch basketball games and to play checkers with Sonny when I was just a little kid. Thanks for being a great cousin to me. Much love and many prayers.
