God bless you all.

Can't believe Sonny has been gone this long. I think of him often, always with a smile on my lips. I can still hear his outrageous laugh. It was good knowing you Sonny.

I am saddened to learn about Sonny's illness and death. He and I were "office neighbors" at UT Martin, and Sonny always made things more fun -- even faculty meetings! My thoughts and prayers are with the beautiful ladies his life revolved around, Kris, Helga, and Sara.

Sonny was such a good man and I feel privileged to have known him and worked with him. Sonny has had a major impact on my life and career. My heartfelt condolences to the family. Rest in Piece my friend. You spent your time on earth well and accomplished so many great things. More than anything, I will remember our many interesting talks about life, economics and aviation. Thank you for everything.

I will truly miss my dear friend, Sonny. I will miss his laughter and his zest for living. It's hard to believe that he's gone. Yet, he will remain with us who knew him.

I met Sonny in 1971 as we were both heading to Iceland during our service in the U.S Navy. We remained in contact through the years, sharing life's joys and challenges as we both became fathers and grandfathers.

Our deepest sympathy to Kris, Helga, Sara and families for their great loss.

We will miss...

I can honestly say I would not be where I am in my life without the trust & opportunity given to me by Sonny. May his family and friends forever ride in the waves of his laughter, stories and amazing business sense. A wonderful man, indeed. Sonny, you will be missed by all who knew you.
