He began working for ADM in 1977, where he retired from in 2005 as a maintenance superintendent. Sonny enjoyed and was so proud of his grandchildren and enjoyed spending time with them. He was also known to all as a master tinkerer! He could build or fix anything. He loved anything with a motor, especially his classic cars. He was a man of many toys!
