Sonny

So sad to lose one so kind. Thanks for letting us know, Jack.

My thoughts, exactly, Vern.

Good man, great reviewer, honest and encouraging. He and Ann Everett reviewed my first novel, THE THATCHER HEAD (no it wasn't about Sharon Thatcher, lol).  I'm saddened to hear this news. I often wonder if and when he would return to this site.  Yes, RIP, Sonny.

This is to inform TNBW friends that Sonny peacefully passed away, in his home, surrounded by his loving wife and children.

Our family wishes to thank all of Sonny’s writer friends for the great joy and pleasure they brought into his life, as they shared with him their passion and love of reading, writing and reviewing books, short stories and poems, as well as their personal experiences as authors.  I’ve seen him smile and laugh behind his computer screen on numerous occasions.

Because I have so often heard my father saying nice things about you and have had the pleasure of his joyfully sharing some of your published books, I’ve recently had the honor of contacting and “meeting” a few of you via Facebook and/or email.  I’d like to thank you for your kindness, which has also brought me joy and laughter and helped me in finally letting go of “Sonny”.

Sonny continued writing and checking his internet up to the last days of his life and this helped him tremendously.

May all of you be blessed with continued joy and success in your writing adventures!

Kindest regards from,

Suzanne and all of Sonny’s family

Hello again, from Suzanne.

To all TNBW friends, Many New Year 2017 Blessings of Love, Health, Peace, Joy and Success !!!

My family and I are deeply moved and warmed by your fine and eloquent words with respect to Sonny.

Thank you for having remembered him:  jack the knife, C J Driftwood, dagnee, vern, Memphis Trace, max keanu and corra.

Thank you so much for your very kind and thoughtful words, Sideman.  We are so happy to know our Sonny brought joy into lives of his friends on TNBW.  This was most likely because you all brought the same amount of joy into his life.

Many blessings to you and your family and with kindest regards and best of wishes to you and Di,

Suzanne

He was a gent. a proper gentleman. I had the same experience in that same era. He was wise and kind and could apply critique without criticism. It was a privilege to have interacted with him. He gave so much more than he took. Condolences to his family and Sonny, may you rest in peace. Gone but not forgotten.
