Our sympathy extends not just to Lee but to Sonnys family - children and grandchildren and want them to know we are sad for their loss and know how much they will miss his enormous energy and presence. His legacy is going to be felt for years in all the areas where he spent his energy. To everyone he met up with on a daily basis he extended his warmth and personality. What a great loss to all who looked forward to his his familiar greetings! We too will miss him greatly.

We enjoyed greatly the friendship of Sonny with Lee our friend for over 50 years. He added a lively spark to vacations we shared and wish there could have been many more. We delighted in watching Sonny enjoy the races he shared so generously with his friends. We're so glad he brought so much fun to Lee and treasure those times we got together.
