On behalf of our family, thank you to all who attended the wake/funeral for my grandpa. Your love and support helped us through tough times. Please keep Alice and all of us in your prayers to help us through the holiday season.

My prayers are with your family during this time. I never personally knew Mr. Waitek, but Lexie spoke of him very highly and very frequently. He was a great man! I know that he blessed her life in so many ways and I know he will be dearly missed. May God's peace rest upon you during time. I look forward to the day when I can meet him in heaven.

Our prayers go out to Waitek family with Ted's passing. I'll always remember the golf get together's on Friday and the fish fry afterward. It was always fun to have Ted join us and watch he and Ron interact. You could always see their love and respect for each other. Something to be very proud of and a guide for all of us to follow.

You may have been my fa-in-law, but I loved you as my own father; I will miss you dad . . . you were a wonderful father, husband, grandpa and great grandpa. You set the standard of excellence; you taught your children right from wrong; I will sincerely miss you.
