Words can not describe what I am feeling. My Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. It just goes to show that life is too short and friendships can not be taken for granted.
The good times we had back in the day will never be forgotten. You will be missed for ever, just rest in peace knowing that you were a good man, a great friend to anyone who knew you and a great family man.
Rest in Peace my Friend. You will be missed till we meet again.

Sonny will be missed so much! All I can say about him was that he was a good man who was devoted to his family. We shared many holidays, weddings and funerals together and the things I hold dear in my heart about him was his jolly laugh, his kind and unpretentious personality, and most of all the love he showed to his wife and his mother. I know we can take comfort that he is celebrating his new life with Jesus in heaven and he will be in our hearts until we will see him again someday. Love you!
