My mom (Roxiean/ Skip) was cousin to Sonny and myself Linda. What a great guy as was the whole family. Missing all of them.
I will miss your kindness, your tender heart, and the sound of your voice.
Thank you for all you were to me and so many others.
Sonny was a great guy. I knew him through Bellaire Christian Church. My first thought was… Sonny I Picture you smiling next to your beautiful Pat I know how deeply you missed her. Sonny loved his family. He had a strong faith. Beside his many talents as a trustee. I have a fond memory of Sonny coming in my office and telling me how he had gone to the doctors office. He had figured out he could make other people’s days more pleasant. He had been sitting next to someone who was worrying and not very happy. He discovered just by talking to someone he could brighten their day. He was delighted that they stopped and thanked him on their way out. I know Sonny always brightened my day! I will greatly miss him. To the family, I’m sorry for your loss. But know he talked of you often and he had a great love for all of you!
Robert and Stacy, our hearts go out to you today on the loss of your father. He was such a good man and was always proud of you. Sending hugs and love. May you find comfort in knowing so many others loved and respected him!
So sorry for the loss of your father Rob.
Uncle Sonny is finally going to be with his beautiful wife, he’s wanted and waited for this for so long.
