Knowing Sonny was to love Sonny.  His devotion to his wife Shirley ,who preceded him in death, was unwavering and steadfast. He served as Deacon at Crystal Springs Baptist Church for over 50 years and was never self righteous but was ready to witness to anyone as if he was just saying hello to a stranger. I had the pleasure of being his brother in law for more than 50 years.  My wife is Shirley's sister Martha. We had a lot of good Thanksgivings and Christmases together and just got together for no special reason on many occasions. I had the pleasure of singing at his church, Crystal Springs Baptist Church, on many 5th Sundays. If you have not accepted Jesus as your personal Savior Sonny would offer you the plan of salvation without hesitation. Today  he would say would be the perfect day to accept Jesus into your heart because you might not have tomorrow. Heaven's gain is our loss. He is dearly loved by many.

My condolences to all.....
A great man who will surely be missed!

I've known Sonny for over 40 years. A man who loves Jesus with all of his heart. Sonny was not only a great man to work for but a Godsend to be able to call him your friend. Sonny was loved by all including me. Praying for his entire family who I love dearly. 

Uncle Sonny you are one of the best role models in men I have ever met. From your tender heart to your unwavering love for Christ your children, family and friends. I know Aunt Shirley met you at heavens gate. I will see you again one day.. I love you
