S. Steel Duquesne Works where he retired as a gang leader on “Big Dorothy” after 30 years of service.  Sonny then spent 30 years as Chief of Security at West Mifflin Area High School where his famous, “I heard that!” could be heard on a daily basis.  Whether it was at home, at work, at a party, or on one of the many trips that he liked to take to the beach, Sonny always found a way to make a joke or to give one of his famous hugs to those he met.  He always left an impression by simply being himself and treating people the right way.  Sonny was a member of the Thompson Club and AMVETS Post # 8.  Everyone will miss his smile and boisterous laugh.  Friends received Savolskis-Wasik-Glenn Funeral Home, Inc., 3501 Main Street, Munhall, Wednesday 12 to 4 and 6 to 9 pm.  Funeral Mass Thursday, 10:00 am, Holy Name Church of Christ the Light of the World Parish, Duquesne.  In lieu of flowers, those wishing may make a donation for the memorialization of Sonny c/o Margaret Gougler.
