He grew up in Fargo, ND, graduating from Shanley High School in 1972. Sonny was a very patriotic man and loved the 4th of July. He spent months saving for fireworks and enjoyed spending the holiday with his family and friends.

Sonny worked at Held Beef, Town Hall Bar and Sherman Excavating in West Fargo. He retired from the City of Fargo Sanitation Department. In his retirement years he worked at County 6 Gas & Bait until the time of his death, where he met some true friends.

Sonny was an avid sportsman in his younger years and continued that love with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He was very proud to teach them how to hunt and fish. He was a very loving and caring man and enjoyed spending time with his family. They were the love of his life! Sonny was a diehard Viking Fan win or lose. Sonny bled purple.
