Sonny was an avid outdoors man. He showed his skill with many trophy bass and bucks. His favorite story was that of his “once in a lifetime” 25 point buck. The only thing he loved more than hunting and fishing was his family. He was married to the love of his life for almost 60 years. He was extremely proud of his three boys and loved to spoil his grandchildren and great grandchildren, who knew him as “Bit”. He was a jack of all trades and a master of all. A harder worker couldn’t be found. He spent most of his life in the seat of a bull dozer or tractor. He loved the Lord and attended Woodville Baptist Church.
