Sonny was born June 10, 1945, in Stamford, CT, to Bernard Sr. and Margaret (Robinson) Sanders. The family eventually moved to Speedway, IN, where Sonny graduated from Speedway High School in 1963. In Speedway Sonny met the love of his life Bonnie (his high school sweetheart) and they shared a remarkable 65-year journey together. In 1973 Sonny and Bonnie relocated their growing family to Clearwater, FL, and lived the remainder of his life in the Clearwater / St. Petersburgh area. His greatest joy in life was spending time with his family, lifelong Speedway friends, and his friends and neighbors in Florida.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. |
