My uncle Sonny was my hero. As a child, our family would drive from FL. I always looked forward to my time with him, Faye, and Steven. I was lucky to spend a whole summer with them when I was about 15. Sonny was such a smart guy and knew how to do anything. I loved to listen to his stories about the old Upland fire house (down by the creek) and his “adventures” with his brother, Ben! While I knew of his passing, I just recently found this memorial and had to write. We ALL lost a great man and I lost my favorite Uncle. I can never forget the memories and influence he had on my life!! I miss you, Uncle Sonny!!! Thanks to all who created this memory!!!

Loved that guy, he made me feel comfortable when I joined the 57 family. Even that I was over 50 he welcomed me. Made sure I followed the rules and even teach me how to drive the antique at parade.

You could tell he was proud of his service with the fire department and his family being so involved. He will be missed by so many. My condolences to family

The first time I met him Uncle Sonny he was dancing at a party at the Upland Fire house; I've enjoyed his dancing and humor ever since I became part of the family. R.I.P. Uncle Sonny.

Sonny was a good friend and co-worker. I knew him for over 55 years and I learned a lot from him while working together at Scott Paper/Kimberly Clark in the Pulp Prep Maintenance Department. I hope that his family can find Peace at this time. He will be missed by all who knew him.

He was a great man and a true friend Steve and family so sorry for your loss

Dear Joyce and family,

I am very sorry for your loss.

Sonnie was type of man, they don't make anymore . I loved seeing you two on that dance floor!! That's my favorite memory of you two .

A great man who left the world a better place by his love and existence. ❤️

Even though I am far away, he has always been in my thoughts and prayers. He was a special man and will be missed by many. My Memories of him are a treasure that I hold close to my heart .

I was so looking forward to seeing him when we came north this summer.

Time will heal, keep to the memory as they will help with the healing.

Heavenly Hugs Uncle Sonny and family

Niece Phyllis Keeth missing you....
