December 5, 2014

Doris, Greg, and Larry,

I am so sorry for your loss. I have extremely fond memories of your father as a part of my childhood and realize any grief I have is dwarfed by your sadness. I hope that during this time of mourning you are blessed to recall all of the things he provided to you as a father and to the nation to which he served so loyally for so many years.

With Much Love,

The Finkles

Ella and family-
I don't know where to start. Sonny was a big part of my life especially when I lost my beloved Ed. He did an outstanding job as Chaplain conducting Legion services for Ed. Karaoke - what will "Your Cheatin Heart" be without Sonny there to sing it? He was a wonderful kind gentleman and I will miss him very much. Ella-keep your chin up. If you need anything please let me know.
My very deepest condolences from the bottom of my heart.

Ellie, I am so sorry. All of you are in my prayers. I have always appreciated "Sonny" conducting the Legion Service for my husband "Judge" when he went to "Post Everlasting". May they rest in peace.
