Some of my best memories of Topeka High come from long talks with Sonny as we drove in my Volkswagen together from Chandler Field to his home and throughout our years at Topeka High. I will always cherish Sonny and am saddened right now. The Lord's blessings to his family. Sonny lives now with his Savior.
