Mary Ann: Soo sorry for your loss. Sonny was one of dad’s best friends when I was growing up as a kid. Mom said he bought them a brand new sofa once and that was the first new piece of furniture she had. He was very giving and had a heart of gold! Even as I got older he would always stop and talk. I’m sure he’s up there having a time with dad and all his buddies. Thinking of you all at this sad time.
