Sonny was a nearby neighbor.

I have been away from the lake this weekend at the beach, but spoke to close friends of Sonny. Though I am sure the investigation is not complete, at present, it appears he may have taken his own life.

Everyone is shocked, saddened, and dismayed at his passing. May God rest his sole.

Keep Connie, his boys, and the Fomby family in your prayers.

I met him a few times, just can't believe he would have done this. I wish you hadn't even posted that.

I absolutely hated to hear he passed! I have not heard any specualtion of the casue of death until now. I have known the Fomby's for about 8 years now and have always enjoyed going to the shop and talking with them.
