Mrs. Botello and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. We have lost contact for a long time but I will always remember when my father (Buckshot) would take us to your house for visits. And especially when you were there for my Mom when he passed. I will always remember that. I know it is hard to let someone go who means so much to us. But let the memories warm your hearts when you are feeling that loss. My prayers are with you all. [email protected]

Tio Sonny was a man of great authority, and great warmth. If ever one would wish to meet a man worthy of respect and admiration, this was that man. He would offer only love and hospitality when inviting you into his home.
Always loved and respected by his family, Tio Sonny was a person that all would recognize to be a good role model. He was a man of great honesty and moral character. He will be greatly missed.
To the family I offer the sincerest condolences, we all feel the loss of a great man and a warm soul. Tio Sonny, thank you for your time in my life and may God bless you.
