Last week, I picked up this sad message from Souful Detroit:

He was found lying unconscious in the middle of his living room floor after suffering a major stroke Feb.27,2009 . He was found by one of his children. He was comatose and was rushed to Saiani-Grace Hospital in northwest Detroit where he expired this morning. Funeral arrangements are as follows: the body may be viewed at Pye's Funeral Home,located on Plymouth & Southfield in Detroit,Tuesday,March 31st from 3pm-8pm. The funeral will take place Wednesday, April 1st@ 5:30 pm . More specifics may be obtained from www.pyesfuneralhome.com.

Sonny had no life insurance and the family is struggling financially to give this great individual a proper ceremony. Any wishing to contribute to the family of the late Sonny Munro can reach his widow, Deborah 3135448201.
