He was honorably discharged from the Navy in 1969 having served two separate tours of duty in Vietnam.

After retiring from a successful career with AT&T, Sonny had a career as a  Div. 1 Women’s Collegiate Softball Umpire.

Sonny is fondly remembered by his family, his friends, and his community as that man who always practiced “Random Acts of Kindness and Senseless Acts of Beauty”. If you ever asked Sonny how he was doing, his    response was always: “AH, EVERY DAY’S A BONUS IN MY WORLD AND MY ONLY JOB IS TO CHOKE THE LIFE OUT OF IT”.
