Kind thoughts are with you Ruth and family in this time of grieving. I worked with Sonny at Sears in Exeter. He was a joy to work with never a dull moment. I did meet you Ruth once my husband & I were at your home to buy some kind of tool. He will greatly be missed. But memories of Sonny will always be with you .
