Sonny spent several years working as a machinist before starting his own business, Middlebury Septic Service, in 1977. He served the community for more than 20 years, then sold the company and took a job with L.S. Ayres, where he stayed until he retired.

Outside of work, Sonny enjoyed fishing, hunting, and sitting outside, taking in the world around him. He had a deep love for animals and always had a dog by his side. His favorite dog was his loyal companion named Poppy.

Because of his love for animals, donations may be made in his memory to Pet Refuge, 4626 S Burnett Dr, South Bend, IN 46614 or through their secure online portal at www.petrefuge.com/donate.
