Uncle Sonny was an extraordinary man. His blindness didn't stop him from being an avid hunter/marksman and an exceptional auto mechanic. He also raised rabbits in his garage, which made him extremely popular amongst the neighborhood kids. Myself and his many other nieces and nephews thought the world of him and enjoyed spending time with him at any opportunity. He had a tremendous impact on all of our lives.
