Mr. Eugene Soligo III

On June 4, 2014, Sonny Soligo peacefully left this world, and went to heaven to be with his Brother. Sonny had known for a long time that his life would be shortened by a weakened heart and he worked hard to prepare his daughter Sarina for his departure. She was always foremost in his thoughts. Sonny was born on November 30, 1959, to Jean Soligo and Bud Soligo in Kansas City, Missouri. His early years were spent policing and playing in the back yard of his city house and in the company of his doting Aunts and Uncle. Many a washing machine was worn out from the quantity of sand brought in from the well used backyard sandbox. As a young boy, he moved to Gladstone, Missouri, when it was still neighborhoods with young families, open fields and creeks. He was a fine Little Leauge pitcher, and his Brother Bob completed the duo as a catcher. He graduated from Oak Park High School and attended the University of Missouri, in Columbia. As a grown up, he was the exceedingly proud Father of Sarina Rachelle Soligo, and finally gave in to the callings of his heritage and became a devoted gardener and Plantsman. His faith in Royals Baseball was unwavering. He will be forever remembered for his starring role in, "The Flying Soligo Brothers. " Family and Friends should feel welcome to gather and remember and visit, on Sunday June 8, 2014 at 2:00 pm at the White Chapel at the Newcomer's cemetary in Gladsone, Missouri. 6600 NE Antioch Road , Gladsone, Missouri, 64119. All are welcome. In lieu of flowers, the family would welcome donations to the Sarina Soligo Continuing Education Fund.
