Bryan was my best friend throughout my high school years and Sonny was always very tolerant of both of us, even when he probably shouldn't have been.

I remember Sonny from way back in Elementary School(some 40+ years ago), when he drove the bus. He didn't drive my "route" up by the Salt Plains lake, but whenever possible I'd get a chance to ride his bus, he always had a huge smile and a kind word for me as I got onto his bus to go home with a friend!! (Sometimes I think I would beg to go home with a particular friend, just so I could have "Cool Dude" Sonny be my bus driver!!) He "stood out" even THEN, as a "bigger than life", kind hearted man that loved people!!! He will be sorely missed by all! With Fond Memories, Judy Miller |
