Auntie Pauline, Uncle George and Skip - I wish to God I could've been there today to say goodbye to Sonny with the rest of the family. Unfortunately, I'm not well enough to travel right now due to the recent decline in my MS (Multiple Sclerosis). I thought about Sonny all day long and said many prayers for you all. Just know that I love you all and that I will miss my cousin until I can see him again one day. For now, I know he's with my Dad (George Bravos) and I'm sure they are out fishing as we speak trying to catch "the biggest bass" in heaven's waters. :-). Love you!!!

Dean provided plenty of hours of fun interesting chat for me and many others. His participation in the 40 plus chat room brightened many people's day. He will be missed. Rest in peace my friend. Ken Halfon (KenH) (Reno, NV)
