Renee and I spent many happy days with Sonny when he was living in Chicago Heights. We were always welcome and he always made us laugh. We will miss him greatly. Our deepest sympathy to his family.

To my dear father, the man who taught me everything. From walking talking and reading to swinging a bat and doing the pick and roll with teddy. He taught me how to treat women, how to love and teach. I knew him better then most, and he may not have always been able to express his feelings but he loved his children and my mom very much. His new wife Barbra did give him a new sense of life, and he lived the last few moments of his life the way he lived his whole life, a HERO! I will miss you and love you very much.

Mr.K , being friends with your daughter Kim has been the best experience in my life. She brought me into your family like another member. I won't forget dancing at Kim's wedding with you . You always have a smile on your face everytime We'd be in your home. Thank you for making me and my girls feel special in your home. You said one time I was visiting with Kim at your house, "Hey, your aging nicely " I thought that was so funny and I will always remember that you are so funny. Thank you for being a special part of my life and a great father to Kim,Chris &Lou.. Christine Rosenberg and family

Uncle Sonny was like a 2nd father to many of us, especially me, Dave, and Tommy. He will always be 'Coach' to us as he had that way of telling you how to do something(his way) and yet you actually learned. I will always remember how we all had to move away from him when he had a basketball in hand for his infamous "set" shot. Ironically, basketball season has started, the sport that I think he loved the most. Although golf was up there too. Mariah and I send our sympathies to Barbara and Lou, Kim, and Chris. I am sad that my girls, Cassidy and Addison will not get to know him; but, we will share our memories as we should. So long Uncle Sonny you will always be a part of us, more than you will ever know.

I would like to share a fond memory I have of Sonny. My father was gravely ill and his brother, Mike, wanted to see him. Sonny insisted on driving Uncle Mike from Las Vegas to California just so he could see my Dad one last time. My Dad passed away two days later.
Rest in peace, Sonny.
With heartfelt sympathy to the Kachnik family,

Uncle Sonny was the sweetest, most caring person i knew. He always made me smile. He give the warmest hugs, and always made me laugh. i'll always remember the time that i went to Las Vagas and uncle Sonny made sure that i saw all the lights and took lots of pictures. He will always be in my heart, and in my thoughts. My heart and prayers go out to his wonderful family, and to his Wife. I will miss you uncle Sonny, but never forget the great memories that i have forever. Love always and forever in my heart.

I shall always remember your affable brother, Sonny, as a fun loving, card playing, devoted family man with a friendly, likeable and outgoing personality. He will surely be missed by all who knew him, loved him, and was inspired by him where-ever he lived. May god bless his soul and forever console his entire family too.

My darling brother:
You will be missed dearly. I am at a loss of words to describe the feelings I have for your life being cut short. My heart goes out to those lovely grandchildren that will not have the opportunity to know you for the loving person you are.
