This video is my favorite memory with Sonny. It was White Night on an MSC cruise that we did, as a large blended family. We all had so much fun together on this vacation! The kids watched their Papa and Yaya dance together under the stars, openly expressing their love for one another, and showing how much fun they always had. Sonny made my Mom, (Roz) happier than I had ever seen her before. Sonny, you will always be missed. We love you. XO
Kind, generous, Sonny will always have a special place in my heart.
He always had a listening ear for me.
A childhood friend and a very
cherished buddy of my Dad.
Many wonderful cruises and fun meals together.
Most of all, I will miss his
smooth velvet voice of him saying, “Love ya!”
So much love he had for his Roz,
his family and mine.
