Way back when...I was probably in the 1st or 2nd grade, Sonny rode the same bus I did going to Magazine High. I think he was my first "crush"..One ti me he actually had to sit close to me because all the other seats were filled. Whew, made my day.
Sorry to hear of his passing.

Betty & family,
So sorry to hear about Sonny. Even though he was really our cousin, we called him Uncle Sonny. Such fond memories of trips to the dairy barn and every Christmas we would go to your house to visit and every time we came back.. Santa had come. I still remember the laugh he and Grandpa Graham had when cutting up and being silly. What a wonderful man. We pray our fond memories and those of others are enough to help you with your loss until you meet again.
You're in our thoughts and prayers.

What great memories I have of Sonny and the fun we had playing Rook with mother, Linda, Sonny and I. Sheila was to small to play but we sure fun. Dad would be out on a trip. The fun and laughs we would have.
Even thought I did not get to visit him and Betty as often as I would have like Sonny will be greatly missed. Love to Betty and the family. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Barbara and Family

Betty and family of Sonny: I am so very sorry for your loss. Sonny was my classmate in school and a good friend. Although I didn't get to see him very often I thought of him very often. He was a good person and I will miss him greatly.

Betty, I was so sorry to read t this. If there is anything I can do for you please let me know. You and Sonny were so good to me when Eugene died, I will never forget that. When Sonny came into the General Store I knew he would give me a ride for my money. He taught me what color different farm equipment was and what little parts they needed. My MI. family still talk about you and Sonny. Betty call me anytime if you need to talk night or day.
God Bless you and Betty Thank you for being there for me.

He will be sorely missed. Such a character and much loved. I am sorry I didnt get to sit and talk with him in May at the gathering at Danie's house. I loved talking with him. So funny.
