Sonny was easy going, friendly and made many friends during his lifetime.  He was always the same wherever you saw him, and he treated people just as he wanted to be treated, with respect.  Although he did so much traveling in his job, he still enjoyed taking trips with Glenda and their family, whenever possible.  He also liked tinkering around the house and working on old cars.
