Sonny loved to spend time with his family, especially loved spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren. Sonny’s family was his pride and joy, they were his world. When Sonny was not spending time with his family you could find him in his garden, he had a green thumb; all flowers and vegetables were constantly growing and blooming.
