Not sure what to say?

I worked with Sonny from 1974 to 1978 in Atlanta, Ga. Although we both were in Roanoke, I saw him only few occasions. Very kind man, everyone who worked for him like him.

His long and difficult struggle is over and Sonny is at peace.

Sonny was one of the kindest, gentlest, most wonderful people. I used to get some of my best recipes from him. Sonny holds a very special place in my heart.
