Dear Maureen and Family:
After the Good Lord had made Sonny, he threw away the key. Sonny was one of the kindest persons that I have ever met. He had an open door always for all the lads from Ireland. Your home was a "home away from home" for everyone.
He will be sadly missed.
You are in my thoughts and prayers at this time.

What can I say except that Sonny was one of the most friendly and caring individuals I have ever met. Sonny always made things brighter for everyone! I remember fondly one day on St marks after the birth of my first child sonnny just smiled then laughed as I slowly tried to make it up the stairs..."oh Jesus he said let me give you a hand you are not looking to good"...he.he.he! He was always there for us! We will never forget all the laughs & happy times! Our love to all of you!
