To the Slosburg family,
I am so sorry for your loss! I always enjoyed being around Sonny. When he walked into a room, you looked up and said "what a handsome man"!
Let the memories guide you through this difficult time.
With deepest sympathy,

As his sister I would like to add that I loved watching my brother play softball as a child at Max Myers playground. Proud that he is in the Temple Hall of Fame, and the Jewish athletes Hall of Fame. He will be missed, and our time together cherished. Rest in peace, Sonny. Also, the NFL has lost their oldest living running back.
