Our father (Sonny),loved living life, mostly on the water(boats, skiing). He was dedicated to "99 Sport Center",
,everyday going to work, dedicated to his customers right until the very end. Retiring was not an option for Sonny. Dad we love you and will miss you terribly. We know you are safe, free of those darn doctors and tests you had to undergo and endure month after month.
Thank you Dad for always being being there, teaching us about life and remaining us of those moments when we were kids, good and bad.
DAD, we love you and will miss you.
Your kids,
Wally. Mike,and Sherrie

I met Sonny in the late 60S when I bought the first of 2 of our boats from him. Since that time our lives crossed several times, finaly at the Elks Club. Sonny always took care of my boat problems and gave me good advice. We always enjoyed seeing He and Nina at the Elk's functions. He will be missed.

Sonny and his father made my life measurable better. I offer my regards to the Prahser Family and thank you for sharing Sonny with the rest of us. Jim McClung, formerly of Modesto.
