My family and I were very saddened to find out that Uncle Whitey had passed away. Never has there been a uncle that was more loved. He brought more joy to our family gatherings than anyone. Any memory involving the Whitey's is a very happy one. I wish we had been able to see him more in the past several years. I am so glad that I have so many wonderful memories of Uncle Whitey...he was the greatest uncle ever!
