It is with sadness that I heard of Sonny's passing. The older cousin that made an impact on the life our family (Oscar's children) was gentle and tender, smart, loving; he brought much laughter to our home when visiting. My brother Paul truly looked up to him and I believe might have been influenced by Sonny to enter the US Navy as Sonny did. Thank you for the joy your brought, Sonny. Rest in peace, dear cousin. With love Claire (St. Cyr) Tetrault
