Sonny was not only loved by the family but also loved by every customer and employee that he encountered while working at Cubs Park Service. His efforts and loyalty at work were greatly appreciated and admired. Knowing Sonny's admirations for the Cubs and Chicago sports teams it would be great to see them pull out a winning season for him.

He will be missed by all around Wrigley.



Sincerely Vincent Rizzo and family
