One of my fondest memories of Sonny is how he really enjoyed when I cooked us all 5star dinners lol. Whether it was a simple weeknight dinner or a special celebration, he would always be the first to arrive, eager to savor every bite. His genuine enthusiasm for food brought joy to our gatherings, turning every meal into a cherished moment. Sonny taught me that food is not just about nourishment; it’s about connection, love, and shared experiences. As we remember Sonny today, let us carry forward his love and the way he embraced every moment with open arms. He may no longer be with us in person, but his spirit will forever linger in our hearts and in every dish we share in his honor. Rest in peace, dear friend. You will be missed more than words can say.
