I was talking to a friend not long ago about Sonny and the times we spent at Times Turn around hanging out. If you ever meet Sonny he was one of those guys that left a lasting impression on you by his wit and kindness. What a great guy and gentleman Sonny was. I always looked forward going into the store and talking with him for hours upon hours late at night. I have no doubt he will be missed by many people. May God bless your soul Sonny for ever more.
