David “Sonny” Sowinski Died Surrounded by Family David Allen “Sonny” Sowinski, age 83, of Sugar Camp, died on February 5, 2020, at his home surrounded by his loving family. He was born on January 31, 1937, in Sugar Camp to Henry and Evelyn (LaPorte) Sowinski. He married the love of his life, Betty Robinson, on June 17, 1961, and they enjoyed 56 years of marriage. Sonny graduated from Three Lakes High School, in 1957, where he enjoyed playing football and basketball. Sonny’s High School quote was, “My schooling’s really done no harm, but I feel safer on the farm.” Sonny also joined the National Guard where he was a sharpshooter. He was honorably discharged in 1958.
With his father and brother, they worked a dairy and beef farm, logging operation, and then came the potatoes. In 1969, Sowinski Farms, Inc., was founded. The farm expanded its operations to include potato farming in Charleston, Missouri. This is where Sonny and Betty had their second home and enjoyed the many friends they made in Missouri. When Sonny wasn’t farming, who are we kidding, there was farming to do all the time. But when he could, Sonny enjoyed the seasons. He liked to deer hunt during the gun season, unless there was enough ice on the lake to be ice fishing. That was some of the best ice fishing he ever did, during gun season.
