My brother, Sonny, had a very good sense of humor. In the few years before his death, he and his wife and I spent a lot of time together. We enjoyed dining in nice restaurants in Knoxville and in the Smoky Mountains. One of his favorites was the Old Mill Restaurant in Pigeon Forge which is the last time I saw him. We knew the mountains well -- mountain hiking trails, driving trails, picnic areas, wildlife, and so much more. Often as we made lengthy drives through the mountains, Sonny would make up humorous stories as we rode. He loved the mountains as much as anyone. -- Jeaneane Payne, sister
