This man was one of my very first "regulars" at the GameStop that I work at. I remember him coming in the first time and treating me like I had been working here for years. Like he had known me the entire time. He was so nice and so friendly and so talkative. And he LOVED his games. I genuinely loved seeing him come in with his hand written lists looking for specific games he was excited for. Im sad to learn of this, and my thoughts go out to family and friends.

Dear Jane and family,
We are so sorry to hear the news of the passing of Mr Sonny. All of the members of the American Legion from across this great state join me in sending our condolences to you and your loved ones at this important time. May the God of ALL COMFORTS now go to work to heal your hearts as you go on a grief journey for a ways. May God now send 10,000 stories and 10,000 hugs to help move forward. Someone wrote, "healing comes through story." I have figured out it takes a lot of hugs to navigate a grief journey. May the Lord be gracious to you, lift your spirits and bring back the joy.

I just found out about the passing of Sonny. I can never thank him enough for the guidance he gave me when I first joined the Legion. He took me to my first Legion meeting in Mtn. City and at my request, was present when I was sworn in as 1st District Adjutant. I will remember him always.
