Sonny served in the Armed Forces between 1954-57 and was stationed in Germany. He was a carpenter by trade but a rock hound at heart. He enjoyed flint knapping (arrowhead making). He would spend all year collecting rocks from around the country for the Shariot Hall Folk Art Fair demonstrations he gave. He looked forward to the Quartzsite rock shows where he made friends withthe same interests. He was adventurous and loved the great outdoors. He dearly loved both of the wives God had given him, as well as the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, but above all he loved the Lord who had saved him by grace, and who's presence he now enjoys.
