He is the longest serving member of the Kennebunkport Fire Department joining in October 1946, and the last to have fought the fire of 1947. He was also chief of the Wildwood Fire Company for 16 years, where you can still find him helping with the fundraising and collecting money for bean suppers. Between the 1960s to the 1990s, he worked as a ballot clerk and served on the Budget Board and Police Commission. He is also a Shriner and member of the Arundel Masonic Lodge #76. Sonny has lived in Kennebunkport his entire life except for a stint in the Army from 1951-1953. In fact, he lives in the same house that he spent his childhood; went to grammar school when it was at the School Days Apartments; and graduated from Kennebunkport High School. He has three sons and one daughter, and numerous grandchildren. Sonny followed in his father’s footsteps working in the lobster retail business. When he was discharged from the Army, he purchased Port Lobster in March 1953. And, after 63 years, he sold his business but is still a familiar face, as he continues to work there driving trucks and doing deliveries. He knows the business inside out, and Port Lobster would be lost without him. The photo above accurately depicts Sonny’s pleasant and good-natured demeanor with his ready smile. His friends describe him as a positive and modest man with never a bad word to say about anyone, and who is always willing to lend a helping hand. He sets the bar for community service and is one of the many people who helps make Kennebunkport such a special place to live.
