Hi, I know this isn't the best way to get in touch with the Equitz family however, my name is Nicole Chiarello. I am the daughter of Anthony (Tony) Chiarello. Carmella Chiarello is my father's aunt and I have been trying to connect with his side of the family. Wayne was a good friend and cousin to my dad and while digging into my family ancestor, he remembers Wayne, Carol, Jimmie and Mike, and especially his uncle Erwin fondly. I would be great to connect and share memories of our family. My condolences to the entire Equitz family and wish you all the best. My hope is that someone is able get in touch if any one in the family would like to.
Best Regards.
Nicole
