Sonny was a great guy with a big heart and wonderful sense of humor. He was a favorite nephew of my Dad and a favorite cousin of mine. I always looked up to him, and looked forward to seeing Sonny and hearing his hunting, car, and horseback riding stories - some of which he shared with me less than a week before he left us. He always had a genuine interest in hearing about how things were going with me and other family members. Over the past 10 years, we stayed in touch often and he helped plan Borum family reunions. He will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him. 💙 ~ Tom Borum
