So saddened to read of Sonny's death in our local newspaper. Sonny played a major role in the development of Medfield Youth Hockey as a Board Member as well as Coach. He was a good friend. Peace be with all of you in this difficult time.

It is with sad hearts that we read of Sonny's passing. We had expected him at the WRHS 50th Reunion of the class of 1958, and missed him when he wasn't there. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
