Not sure what to say?

I'm sorry to hear of the death of my classmate. Sonny & I graduated in 1948 from the Williamstown High School and that same year, I left town and now live in Connersville,IN. I saw very little of Sonny over the years, except for brief visits for class reunions. It is very difficult to lose a family member, especially during the holidays. I feel your pain.

Lee and Jill, sorry to hear this, it was a shock. Sonny has and always will remain special to me. they dont come any better. He instilled the true meaning of life and sports in all he touched and coached. When some people pass on the world changes, the world changed this week. If I can do anything please call.

To
Lee, Jill, and all of Sonny's Family:

Sonny was a very special man--always pleasant & smiling, with kind words for everyone. He was dedicated to all of you, and you can be proud that you had such a wonderful dad & grandfather. I have great memories of him; surely
your memories will bring you comfort at this time.

God Bless,
Andrea

Sonny was a great gentleman who loved sports and being there for the kids. He was always at the Little League games, cheering for the kids, and enjoying his love of baseball and life in general. He will be greatly missed!

God bless you during this difficult time.

I'm sorry to hear about the passing of your father and grandfather. Needless to say I was taken aback when I read his obituary. My father was Joseph Barkus. I lost him in March of 1984. He was only 58. I guess we are not related but I wanted to offer my condolences. God bless you all.

Hill, I am very sorry to hear of the passing, of your Grandfather.
