Sonny worked in the material handling industry for 38 years at Carolina Handling.  His mottos for business and life were, "people don't buy from companies, they buy from people" as well as "plan your work and work your plan".  Sonny never met a stranger and would strike up a conversation with everyone.  He was always happy and enjoyed telling good stories and making people laugh.  In his spare time he enjoyed working in his yard and spending weekends at their place in Wadesboro.  He enjoyed attending Carolina Panthers games, NASCAR races and drag races.  He was a good ol' country boy who will be dearly missed by all those who knew and loved him.
