We miss you Uncle Sonny. My mom (Patrice) still cries for you. You were the best father figure she ever had and best uncle I known. We love and miss you. Continue to R.I.P. until we meet again.

I met you when I was just a kid in the late 70s in Hampton. You were one of the greatest people I ever met. I think about you often and how unselfish you were. Not many days go by where I dont picture you smiling. You made an impression on my life and in many ways - saved it.
Thank you, Sonny.
Rest In Heaven
