So sorry for your loss. Condolences to the family. Just thinking of our racing memories
My brother-in-law, Sonny was like another brother. I've known him since I was a child. He would bring me lizards in his lunch box when he worked at the Road department. He helped dad start our Scout troop 396, helping with it for years. He was instrumental in starting our family business Sparta Suzuki, and our racing efforts. He taught me so much about mechanics, even though I had little confidence in myself. Sonny will be greatly missed!
Sadness to hear of his passing. A great patient in my Optometry practice years who I miss seeing in my retirement! Condolences to Carol and family!
So sorry for the loss of Sonny. A dedicated man to his wife, family, community, church, and mining families. He will truly be missed.

I know I haven't seen you both in quiet a while. I am so very sorry to hear of Sonny's passing. My prayers are with you during this difficult time.

He always treated me how he treated his great grandchildren. Him and my dad were really great friends and I hope they are up there laughing and having beer with each other!
Carol. Our sincere codolences to Sonny's passing. We've all had some great times together. Think about them often. Ron and Paula Kohring
