Bob Sonos was one of the nicest gentleman I knew and a tremendous caring dentist in period artist. The dentists of Clark County appreciate everything Bob Sonos did for our community. May he rest in peace

I remember the good doctor from the time he performed a graft on my mouth that really helped at the time. Later during my time at the County Public Service Center, I would see Bob at the real estate sales on Fridays. I enjoyed the banter with him, and he invited me down to visit in Cabo to ride the tuna boat. I told him I would crew for them. Never made it down there. I´m sure he´ll be missed by many.

I was knew Bobby through his aunt Ruth Benov. She was a close and dear friend who adored her sister Lettie and Lettie's children Bobby and Laura and their children. I met Bobby occasionally on his trips to New York City and I heard about him from his aunt: how incredibly kind he was to his family, what good care he and Laura took of their mother, his generous nature, his adventures out west, his sons, his lovely and artistic wife Carmen, and what a bond there was in the family. I am so...

My sincere condolences to the Sonnes family for their great loss. Dr. Sonnes was my periodontist for an unbelievable 54 years so I still have my original teeth at age 85. He served as the President of the Clark County Dental Society and was known for his patriotism , letting us know the French should have supported the USA some time ago. I and all his patients will miss him.

I volunteered with Bob several times doing dentistry at free clinics around the Pac NW, and knew him as a good friend. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, and may God´s grace be with you all-

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I will miss doctor Bob he was a wonderful and great person! My heart goes out to his kids and this time of sorrow. We had many memories. He´s a dear friend.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing Dr Bob! We were neighbors and colleagues in real estate. It was always a blast to spend time together.

Although I did not know Robert personally I felt I knew him through the many conversations I had with his lovely wife and my good friend Carmen. She had so many glowing stories about his generosity, humor and kindness. I know she will always remember her many years of marriage with him and all the best of their love and lives together.
