I was so sorry to hear about Sonny. He was a very sweet person who use to come into C. W. Sprenkle for many years when I worked there as J. T.'s secretary for over 20 years. He was always telling stories and funny. I've thought about him often and sorry I didn't know about his passing until now. He was always talking about his family and I know you will miss him dearly.

Dear Doris, We were forwarded Sonny's obituary by family in Virginia. While I will always picture us as happy children on Wilmer Ave. Sonny touched many lives in a most positive and loving way. Bob joins me in sending you our deepest sympathy. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Doris & Cherilyn, for as long as I can remember, Sonny was a member of the Neagle clan. I do have spotty memories of Sonny at the house just hanging out or having dinner. My heart goes out to you both. He was a good man, a good friend, uncle and brother. God bless him and keep you all in the palm of his hand.

Doris,
You and Sonny were wonderful neighbors to us. I think back to the many talks that Sonny and I had, and enjoyed our times of conversation and visits. He always found a way to make me laugh. I don't have to tell you what a wonderful brother Sonny was to you, and I know you will miss him. My prayers and thoughts are with you during this time of loss. Please call me if there is anything I can do for you.
