Sonny, was a dear friend both at the shipyard and when he lived in Florida. He used to cook some of the best turkeys for our shipyard gatherings we had yearly at my house. In fact I was so impressed he helped me build one for my own use which I still use. Jean and Family take care, we will all be with Sonny again some day, and maybe have another party.

So sorry to hear about Sonny! We all have so many great memories of going to your camp on the Lamprey River~the rope swing, the hay rides, etc. and Dolly Copp Campground with all the families. Those were the days! Deepest sympathy to all of you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
