You will be so truly missed my dear friend. We shared a most wondrous gift on our son, Jared. Rest in peace Sonster.
Love you cousin Sonny I have wonderful childhood memories of you leading us in play at the farm and at your house.
“Forever”

Worked with Don at Greece Central
We both shared a love of classic music and motorcycles. Often shared pictures of our grandchildren. Tried to stump each other with music trivia, very rarely stumped him, Always a pleasure to work with and he will be greatly missed!
The T-burg Class of ’72 came together for our 50th high school reunion last month. Along with other classmates, I remember him as one of the funniest members of our class and even now smile as I think of the many giggle fits he sparked among us. I’m sure heaven became even brighter when Sonny arrived.
Forever.
