My thoughts and prayers are with you Ruby and your family during this very difficult time..

Mr. Waterstraat was a good man. A kind and sincere man, always looking out for others. A friend of the family since his own childhood, I remember getting bullied in the old neighborhood on Harrison St when he stepped outside to scare all the kids away. He asked if I was ok and called my Dad. I was in 1st or 2nd Grade at the time, and walked to school past his house everyday. I was surprised he already knew who I was and our phone number)). After that, I did not have to worry about this gang of older and younger kids beating on me all the time. Later on in life I would come to know Mr. Waterstraat and his family as friends through my Mother and Father. He grew up with my Father, the Motorcycle rides with my Pop, the celebrations, and hometown companionship with my parents would also find me babysitting in my adolescence. Needless to say, also find me feeling a certain sense throughout my life of the need to protect Mr. Waterstraat and his family, especially his children. It is really cool how these bunch of Working Class guys would get together on their bikes and give back so much to the Community. Whatever the cause, whatever the reason through this child's eyes, riding with my Pop, these were great Men, these were great people. They found the time to help others all over the area. When and where politics or politicians failed or did not do anything, Mr. Waterstraat's contributions, sacrifices, and wisdom were always a refreshing and welcome sense of comrodory and brotherhood in whatever the cause, for whatever they were riding for. Sometimes these guys , like my Pop, like my Dad, just had to go out on their own, figure things out, find new projects, passions, or perspectives. Roll out against the wind, where there is nothing, no worries, where time and space are non existent. Working Class heroes do not alwsys have time to think about their futures, they worry about their family's, they want better for their Children and Grandchildren and still find themselves always helping others. Mr. Waterstraat was no exception. Life is sometimes challenging and very frusterating, a nice ride with the wind in your hair, and your troubles behind you, sometimes the realization of life and what it is about emerges. The moments of clarity and profound sense of strength and pride that you Mr. Waterstraat are a Good man, you did a Great job in life. You did a wonderful job raising your family and were in fact living The American Dream, your American Dream, and the Dream lives on through your family and friends. We are all happy and proud to know you and hope you will drop in from time to time to check in on us. I guess I just wanted to say thank you to you and your family Mr. Waterstraat. You are a positive influence on me and my family's life and so many others, you will not be forgotten. God Bless and God Speed, sending you and your family Love and Prayers. May God's Angels protect you, guide you, and avenge you, in this life and the next.......
