Sonny married Sue Graham on April 10, 1952, they were married for 71 years. Sonny retired as an Oilfield Design Draftsman. He was a proud past Mason and was a part of Masonic Grey Lodge 329.
Sonny was always “ready to go” as his family describes him. His children recall while growing up that if they weren’t ready when their dad was ready to leave the house they had to finish getting ready in the car. His desire to be out and about spanned from going out to eat to going on a trip to hunt and fish wherever he could. Every Sunday, for over 12 years, he could count on going to breakfast with his nephew, Jerry.
