I knew John since the third grade. RIP.
SONNY ! You may remember me ! You used to stop at Morilaks Bar by Brookpark/West 150TH years ago! You were always friendly and we had a few nice conversations! a friend from long ago remembered you! REST IN PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope your sadness is short and the memories bring you happiness.
Thanks for letting me be a part of your lives.
Love you all,
Jack Woodards
My deepest condolences to all of you. We all loved Sonny and I always thought of him as my little brother cousin. I loved him more than life itself. He made me laugh so hard. As children we use to hunt for tadpoles and frogs together or just hang out. I am deeply saddened by him having to go but thank God he doesn't have to suffer or take dialysis anymore ! He served his country in Vietnam. I am very proud of him. Every time we got together as adults he would tell me how much he loved Doris. The same goes for his children and grandchildren. he really loved his family and now I'm repeating myself ! At this moment I have no more words to express how much I loved him. God is with you Sonny.
