So sorry to hear about Sonny. He and Jean were great neighbors when we were young. Sonny and Jean were a fun couple. So sorry for Ricky. No one will love you like your daddy. We always talked about Ricky and his family when we saw each other. Sonny lived a long life. I hope he had a peaceful journey. Sending peace and love.
