Hi Cammy & Danny,
Wow, it just seems like yesterday that we were all meeting around uncle Adam's kitchen table on a Sunday afternoon listening to fishing stories from the Waitkus boys (both uncles and cousins). Your dad always was the comedian in the family and I always enjoyed being around him. We can all learn from him and try to bring a little smile to everyone we meet.
Sorry for your loss.
Cousin Frankie and Robin
