Yes, I thought maybe he was pointing at his watch saying "hurry up with the darn picture".
But, he had to hold real still for it to show so well.

Lousy quality of picture....
He holds something? Like a cup or noggin?
Hands looks like a blurry misshapen claddagh....but requires imagination.

He's counting the jewels on his mother's bracelet. His hands are saying...R.I.P. mama. (in Italian) 1909?...maybe in Siciliano.

That is impressive if it is true Sir. Can you tell me what these men are all saying?

He's checking his watch. The wake is supposed to be at 4PM, and liquor is being served. He doesn't even know the guy who passed on.

Pretty sure, whatever his hand message is......It's a lie. He's lying to us, folks. Anybody got a rope?
