He enjoyed being with his family most and liked anything to do with the Civil War, he traveled to many of the battlefields.  He was an amazing listener and sharer of some of his own life experiences.  Sonny will be remembered for being a good natured person and was loved by all who know him.

“Pop-Pop” will be forever remembered for entertaining his grandkids by teasing them and they in return would hide his candy from him.  He was a great father and the “Best Husband” any woman could want.  He only belonged to his loving wife Jean.  They spent time traveling on long road trips.  Together they loved the shore, especially in the early years in Wildwood.
