Sonny married Betty Newcomb on August 6, 1966 and they were together for over 50 years. Sonny and Betty were adventurous at heart; they raised three children and traveled extensively throughout the United States.

You could always rely on Sonny as a husband, a father and a friend.
Sonny was preceded in death by his wife Betty and his son Phil, Jr. He leaves behind his children, Chad (Lucille) Hinkley, and Andrea (Travis) McKee; his sisters, Becky (Rene) Scallan and Martha (Frank) Lyles; his grandchildren, Grey, Knight and Jade; and his dog, Max.
