Sonny was a friend for life, and I was his friend for life.  My favorite memories include playing golf at Floyd and Myrtle Beach.  He was a forever friend.  

One of the things I remember and appreciate about Sonny was his long and loyal friendship with my family.  Through many changes,  Sonny remained a dear friend.   Special memories include trips to Greensboro,  Myrtle Beach and Birmingham.  

I met Sonny when I was working on genealogy about my grandfather. Little did I know that he would become a good friend. Thanks Sonny for the memories! 

Sending my condolences to your family and friends. We miss you around here, as you was apart of our family. 

Sandra Bowman,  beloved cousin, the brother she never had.
