IRVIN W. "SONNY" TEMPLETON

Sonny was such a good friend of my dad’s, and always a pleasure to be around and converse with. He was more than twice my age at the time, but he went more than twice as hard at the gym at the City Club as I ever could. My mom happened to google him and saw he passed and told me. RIP Doc; may God bless you and your family ❤

Paul, Lynne and Rand:

I am deeply sorry to hear of Uncle Sonny's passing and truly embarrassed that I was not told of it until now. I was working on two projects in Gettysburg and Kernstown, Virginia in October so I didn't get the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. How Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's passed without it being mentioned, I just cannot explain. After all those years of sharing those holidays together, you would think that either Patty or Polly would have said something.

Well enough said on that. I will remember the family holiday meals with great fondness. As for the comment in the obituary on Uncle Sonny being a likeable guy, it hits the nail on the head. I doubt that I will ever meet a man as sincerely well liked as Sonny. When Malinda got married in Chicago, Sonny came out and we had a great time with him. People that never had met him before also came away with a great impression of him.

An all-round fun Uncle to all three of us.

Dr Templeton was my childhood dentist and a very good friend of my grandparents (David and Lorraine Smith). He was such a nice person and I always remembered him fondly. I used to tell my kids about how he swam with the sharks. We happened to be visiting family in Pittsburgh and I drove by his old office. Made me think of him so I googled him and saw he recently passed. Such a wonderful man. Prayers to his family.

Sonny will be sadly missed by me. He and I kept in touch since our school years and I considered him a real friend. He helped me through so many hard times

I join many others who remember many fun times.
Sonny was a person with kindness, humor and great
warmth.He was always fun to be around. Everyone I
know looked up to Sonny. He had a very special personality and niceness about him. He was an
extremely well liked and popular person who
will be missed by everyone who knew him.
Deepest sympathy to Carole and his family from

Sonny was one of a kind, and he will be sadly missed but will live on forever in our hearts, Everyone here in our neighborhood knew Sonny. He would always say hi to everyone he came across. Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever. May God provide comfort and healing to his wife Carol and all of his family.

Everyone's unique in a certain way. Sonny was unique in a lot of different ways. He left lots to celebrate and lots to mourn. One couldn't help but love the guy. He's up there snorkling while everyone else is saying the Rosary or playing the harp.

We were very sorry to hear of Dr. Templeton's passing. He was such a personable and well-loved guy. He was instrumental in helping me overcome my fear of having dental work done and for this I will always be grateful.

So, so sorry to hear this sad news... Sonny was a legend in his own time, that's for sure. Our condolences to his extended family...

So very sorry to hear of Sonny's passing. My sympathy to his family. He was a great friend to my husband Bill & we all had so many good times together. There will be a lot of catching up to do in heaven with those two.

RIP DOC, TRULY THE BEST DENIST AROUND. MY CONDOLANCES TO YOUR FAMILY
