I am so thankful that I had the pleasure of working with Sonny for 25 years at Nabisco. He was always the kindest person and I cannot remember ever seeing him mad. He was a wonderful person and always worked hard. I can remember numerous conversations with him about his antique searches that he and Carol loved to do together. He has left a lot of precious memories for everyone that knew and loved him. May God bless you all. Glenda and Jerry Snowa

“Sonny”, a gentlemen and a scholar. If ever there was a man of honor it would be “Sonny”. I know your hearts are heavy right now but please find some comfort in knowing that before Sonny left this earth, he touched a lot of lives with his friendship, kindness, wisdom, understanding and love. Now he is enjoying his just reward from our heavenly Father. Just picture him walking around the throne room of God!! He has accomplished something that I pray you all will do. Sonny has gotten to see Jesus, Mary, Abraham, Moses and all the other saints that have gone on before us. Cry because you will miss his physical presence, but remember that you are never alone, Sonny, God and the angels will always keep watch over you because they love you so much!

May God’s strength rest upon you. Affectionately your, a co-worker.
