He and Jean toured the US on their Honda Goldwing motorcycle. Sonny won the first ever race at Whynot Speedway back in the day. Sonny, or Papaw to his grandkids, never missed a sporting event, and could be found next to Eula cheering their teams on. Sonny also had a storied, 36-year career at the US Postal Service.
