I reside in North Carolina after I retired , but I worked with Sonny for over 20 years at the City of Sarasota in the Code Compliance Dept. He was so knowledgeable of the Newtown area and Alway had a smile. He will be truly missed. My condolences to his family. BJ Spangler

As a kid growing up on pershing and don aka "sonny ",his wife lois were my neighbors two houses apart. he loved working on,and detailing his trucks.i played music one year for their house party,and lois favorite song was ' if you think you are lonely now 'by Bobby Womack. I can truly say Newtown is lonely now without them both. May GOD bless the family with his peace. st.john. 14chpt. Charlie mack and family
