Uncle Sonny,

I am honored to have had you as an uncle, and more so as a friend. You were there for me at various times during my childhood and adult life when no one else was. You were supportive, kind and loving. As a child, all mom had to say was "uncle Sonny is coming over" and the day instantly was better. You fought a hard fight, but are in a better place now. Love you and miss you.

Uncle Sonny,

You always had a kind word and a smile. You were enthusiastic about baseball and a sportsman in all life's endeavors. I will miss your smile and warm friendship. I have many memories which be held near and dear. I'm lucky to have known you.
