I offer my sincere sympathy upon the loss of Mr. Adukaitis. He was a contemporary of my parents, and I have many childhood memories of dinners at Sinco's restaurant, when our families would run into each other there and have lots of laughs. Mr. A. was always smiling and had a good word to offer. My parents and I were very fond of him. I also vividly remember how proud he was of his children. May his memory be eternal!

Adukaitis family I had the privilege of meeting your father at Broad Mtn where my father was also. When I got off the elevator he was the shining star sitting at the end of the hall with Metro. He always was a gentleman and I am glad to have meet him and left me with some fond memories.
