So sorry for your loss. I feel like I grew up with him at Sheridan Road. He had the biggest heart and sense of humor. I spent lots of time at their house and he was ornery. He always made you smile, even when you didn't want to. He's singing in God's choir now, with that beautiful, booming voice. He makes the songs sound that much sweeter. Rest in peace, Mr. Prentiss.

I'll never forget the time I asked for his daughters', Jonna, hand in marriage. I asked him and he sat back in his chair, stared at me for a minute, all while im sweating up a storm, waiting on his response. Finally, he looked at me and said, "well what are you gonna do with the rest of her?" With a big smile on his face. From that moment, I knew we would get along just fine. He was a funny man and had clever comebacks. He welcomed me to the family with encouraging words. I will miss him for sure, but I know he's ecstatic being in Heaven to talk to and see his family and friends who made it before him. But I can also see him talking to all the people mentioned in the Bible and just taking it all in. Probably even has at least one round of golf in already, if not more. I love you Prentiss and thank you for treating me like one of your own.
Shirley, Kelly, Johnna and Lisa, I am so sorry for your loss. We are never ready to lose our loved ones, but we know he was welcomed by his family and friends who went before him and he has found his Beulah Land. I know that Aunt Jane was first in line to greet him.
Sonny was my first cousin, the first-born grandson of Etienne Leon Guibert (Stephen Gilbert), French immigrant, and first generation grandmother, Mary Darras Gilbert, daughter of Antoine Henry Darras and Cecile Frere Darras. Aunt Jane, Uncle Prentiss and family lived just down the road from us, so we were a close-knit clan. When I was little, I used to run off and go to their house. I always felt closer than cousins to Sonny, Irma Dean and Patty. That’s the beauty of growing up in a small town.
A faithful follower of Jesus Christ. A special friend. He and I shared a love for the game of golf!
