You are always on my mind, but especially today.   When we met Cheryl's uncle Ronnye back in the 60's, you decided to start ending your name like his, so you became Sonnye.  Fifty+ years later you are still Sonnye to me.  Love always.

Hey Sonny, here is blessings and fond memories of you as we mark 6 years of your passing. LOVE ya ...Jaime

I was only around Sonny for a couple of years back in the late 60s, and at that time, had not heard the term "old soul." When I began hearing those particular words later, I often thought that they applied to him. There was a depth of spirit to the man that is all too rare in other people. I regret that I lost touch with him soon after he moved to California, and wish that I had known that he was back in the Valley. It would have been great to have a lot more conversations with him. I am very sorry for his family's loss, as well as that of his friends.

My dearest Sonny,
Our hearts and souls joined 52 years ago.  We formed a bond that to this day I have never had with another person.  When your band would play Mustang Sally, you would say “Falcon Vicki” because I drove a Falcon!  And when Van Morrison would talk about his Brown Eyed Girl, you would call me your “Green Eyed Girl”.  We would ride around in your little blue Volkswagen bug and you would tell me about how you thought you embarrassed yourself in high school singing “Sounds of Silence” in the talent show,  and how your whole family – mother Amalia, cousins and aunt - drove to California in that little bug.   I knew from the day I met you that ours would be a special relationship – not one of romance but of a love that goes deeper than any physical bond.  Through all of the years apart I have always held you close in my soul. Over the years I have searched for you and thought I had finally located you.   When I visited the address this month, I was devastated to hear from your sweet Joe that you had left this Earth behind.  My regret that I will carry with me forever is that I did not get to see you again.  Sing with the angels in Heaven and please smile down on me.  I will love you eternally.  With all my heart – Vicki 

Sonny, as his family knew him will always occupy a special part of our hearts...His humor and love for life was such an inspiration .  He was a brother in all the sense of the word. Every special memory in the Contreras family is shared with a piece of Sonny. I will miss him so very much. He left behind warm and beautiful memories. His humor was loved by everyone he knew.Sonny, smooth sailing to our God. As long as we breathe your memory will be close to our hearts. My fondest memory of you was the night you and  my sons and I got  stuck in the Laguna Madre , one inch of water, and you kept on yelling , " we are all going to drown like in the Titanic" ...Oh we laughed for months ...Love Ya " the kid"

Ramon leaves behind his life long companion of 40 years.
