We will miss you and have great memories of both growing up on Morgan Street and later visits to Florida. Love you and Shirley Joe & Pat Raklovits.
No young person could have asked for a better uncle than my uncle Whitey. When he came over, he would throw footballs to us for hours on end. He had an amazing ability to lead you just enough so that you had to dive for almost every ball. What kid doesn’t love that. Whether you caught it or not, he would break out in that wonderful laugh of his. It is truly one of my fondest memories growing up. My entire life was made richer by this man. Rest in Peace, Uncle. from Don Raklovits
