My heartfelt condolences to the Buchanan Family! I too went to high school with Sonny, albeit a year earlier. My sister, who also went to high school with Sonny said to me one day that she thought Sonny was really cute and she really liked him. Said he was very kind. And how he carried that kindness throughout his life.....by helping others, especially the little ones! God Bless you, Sonny!

My prayers and thoughts are with Sonny's family and friends. I met Sonny a few years ago when he would frequent the restaruant that I worked at, Gentleman Jim's in Rockville. We will all miss Sonny's kind and gentle soul. May God Bless and comfort all who are suffering from this tragedy.

My deepest sympathy goes to all of Sonny's family and friends! I was crushed when I heard the terrible news. I have known Sonny since we were in Kindergarten, when we called him "Sonny Boy". I am very thankful to have known him as long as I did. God Bless You Sonny Boy!!! You'll always be in my heart!!!
