We mourn the loss of such a great man, husband, father and grandfather. You couldn't find a better person in the world than Sonny. He fought a very courageous fight against cancer. The family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Noah, Sonya & Shawn,
I am saddened by learning of the loss of your grandfather and father. I know there’s an empty place in your hearts from his absence. I do know that heaven is now even a nicer place for he’s there. As Corrie ten Boom wrote of her time in a Nazi concentration camp, "No matter how deep our darkness, [God] is deeper still."
Please let us know if there's anything we can do for you.
