Murrel “Sonny” was born in Kansas City, Kansas on June 15, 1935, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Murrell and Lillie Miller. Sonny worked as a Construction Foreman most of his life, until his retirement in 1993. He was very hardworking and enjoyed working. Keeping busy was his favorite hobby. Whether that was at his job or tinkering in his garage working on classic cars and motorcycles. Sonny has a 1952 panel van that he took great pride in restoring as well as his 1979 Cadillac. Those were his prized possessions. In his free time, he enjoyed salmon fishing with his family and spending time with his beloved dogs. He will be dearly missed.
