In life you never know when you are going to see a person the last time...I seen Sonny a few months back and he gave me a ride in his FIero he had just got it fixed up and we rode around around for about 30 minutes and talked about old times and how we needed to get together. Sonny you were one of a kind and you will be deeply missed by all who knew you and all who shared the good times in Sonny's Bar where he would post up in the captain's chair and preside over all the festivities. God Bless you Sonny and God Bless you Joann and all family... Love, Jeff Simmons
