I was so sorry to hear of Sonny's passing. He was a man with a common sense and a great sense of humor which made him a pleasure to be around. The world is better because of his having been in it and poorer because of his passing.

Our prayers go with you in your time of loss. May God comfort and keep you in his hands.

We enjoyed our few times together in the Good Sam Club. We got our propane from Sonny. He was a jewel and Pat , you are too. We loved him and you, too.
The Lord will give you strength to carry on. Call us if you need to talk.

Pat and Jimmy - my prayers and thoughts are with you and your families. I know you will miss Sonny very much. Although I didn't get to see Sonny very often down through the years, I will never forget him and will always cherish our school day memories and all the fun we had growing up as kids. (especially the old Florence Hill Bunch). May God be with you and your families during this time.

An old friend and neighbor,
