Hi All. I wanted to share more information about the Celebration of Life for Sonny on Friday, May 31st, at the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati. Please attend when you are able to, but here is the agenda for the evening.

5-6pm Guests arrive, enjoy a self-guided tour through the museum, a drink at the open bar (beer, wine, pop), light snacks and visit. A good time to sign the guest book.

6-7 Guests seated. The program begins with a few words from Cathy (me!), and then some thoughts and stories shared by Kevin Watson, Barbara Kiss, and Meghan and Jeramy Fendel. A slide show highlighting Sonny's life will be next. We will conclude the program with everyone encouraged to play at least one game in Sonny's honor-Rock/Paper/Scissors, Dice, War with cards, Left/Right/Center and a few others.

7-8:30 More visiting and spending time with friends and family.

A few notes: Please wear your favorite team colors, no jerseys tho. I want the room to be colorful, not look like a sporting event. So if the Detroit Lions are your favorite team, wear a blue or silver shirt/top; Cincinnati Reds, wear a red shirt.

There is valet parking due to a limited number of spaces on museum property. There is no tipping the valets as they will be compensated separately. You are encouraged to tip the bartenders.

Please message me with any questions and feel free to share this with anyone interested in attending.

With a heavy heart and deep sorrow, I'm sad to tell you that Sonny passed away last night. For over 40 years he entertained thousands with a show unlike any other. I was lucky enough to meet him in 1991 when he came to Folkie's in Marion, which would later become the home of Crab Racing. For the past twenty years we've been partners. Hundreds of shows in scores of venues and it never got old. Every show was the same, but every show was different. One of the best friends a guy could have. My heart goes out to Cathy.

I'll keep you posted as the arrangements are made.
