Dear Saltzberg family, We were so sorry to read that our friend, Sonny, has passed away. Harvey first met Sonny when he worked for J and M sports, across from Honest Ed’s. We bowled for over 30 years together with Leonard Mayzel Lodge and travelled to many cities for bowling tournaments. His famous expression to me was “the Qster”. Our heartfelt sympathy to all his family and friends. Harvey Q and Debbi Silver ?

Although it's been many decades since I've seen him, Sonny's memory stands out clearly in my mind. In our formative years, Sonny was a friend of Herbie Webber and both of them lived on Grace Street. We lived on Beatrice only one block from each other and spent countless hours playing in the lane between the two streets. A sweet guy who would never harm a fly. May he rest in peace.

My 1st cousin Sonny was someone I hardly got to know. He distanced himself from his family for some reason and never wanted to be part of his family. I knew him as a child growing up but after his mother passed he wanted nothing to do with any of his family. I never could figure out why. If anyone would like to share, I would love to know more about him. I hope he rests in peace.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Sonny. He was one of my dad’s closest friends for many years. They spent many mornings at Kivas together. They bowled together they golfed together they went to Las Vegas together and I even had the opportunity to go to Las Vegas with them one year. He is the true definition of a Mensch. I always will remember his voice and how are used to call me ketzell. He will be missed and hopefully he will be sharing a bagel with my dad shortly.
