It's very difficult to believe Sonny Boy, as the family would refer to him back in day, is no longer with us. He was always so knowledgeable and just a phone call away to provide advice when I needed help with any mechanical or electrical problem. He was always willing to help. My fondest memories go way back when I was very young, my sister Cynthia was a teenager and my mother would make her take me on double dates with her boyfriend Vernon and "Sonny & Linda." They would go to the state fair when it was downtown or the beach or crabbing on the Courtney Campbell causeway or the Goody Goody, where we would get the best hamburgers at curb service. And of course with Tonito tagging along---- I think they were really ok with it though. I was a lucky kid to be able to have shared those moments with him. As I got older, me and my cousin Ronnie would go hunting with Sonny in Perry, FL, chasing the dogs through the woods when they picked up the scent of a hog. There isn't enough space here to recount all the fond memories. His humor, knowledge and positive attitude will be missed by all. We all love you Sonny and you will always be in our hearts.
