Dear Kenny, Michael and Susie,
When our family needed it the most, your Dad and Mom provided support and fun that we will always remember. Your Dad´s kindness and generosity are amazing traits so few possess. Our Mom often said that Sonny and Diane are the best friends anyone could have and I am truly fortunate and grateful to have known both. Heartfelt condolences to you and your families.
Much love,
Jeffrey Smith

Dear Kenny, Michael and Susan:
Sonny was my friend for almost 70 yrs. He, Diane, Anita and I
spent many memorable times together --Blackhawk Games, Bears,
Dinners, Movies, just hanging out. In later years we wintered on different Coasts, but that didn't change how we felt about Sonny and Diane.
Sonny was the BEST man at our wedding, and he was truly the BEST man
ever! We miss him already.

Dear Kenny, Michael and Susie,
While my heart is sad for the loss of your dad, I have memories of what a nice person and good friend he was to our family. He meant the world to my mom, and visa versa I´m sure. Hopefully the 3 are kicking it up in heaven.
I send my deepest condolences and hope all are at peace.
All my love,
Jimmy Smith

Sorry to hear of his passing. He was President of GACC when they hired me in 1977. My fondest memory was when they invited me skiing on a New Year´ s vacation. I´m not in town now, but my prayers are with the family.
With love,
Richard

We skied, played golf, fished and even worked together (DynaPro). You were a great friend, a mentor and one of the most generous people I ever had the pleasure of knowing. I´ll miss you, Sonny.

My sincerest condolences to Mr. Fixler's children. You are in my prayers. You were loved by your parents...they shared memories with me at one time. Remember your parents are right where you lay your hand-- on your heart whenever you want to talk to them.
