$500 Tip to Waitress a Last Wish for Patron's Brother

The man has been traveling the country leaving $500 tips for waitstaff since his brother's death last year, and a Wauwatosa waitress was recently the lucky recipient.

A waitress at a Wauwatosa restaurant received quite the generous tip as part of a quest by the patron to fulfill his brother's wishes from his will.

The waitress at Balisteri's received a $500 tip from Kentucky native Seth Collins, according to Fox6Now.com. Collins' brother died "mysteriously" last year, and his will asked that family members go out to eat and leave $500 tips for waitstaff.

Collins raised $60,000 online and has been leaving such tips weekly since, according to Fox6Now.com. The waitress plans to use the money to pay for her school books.
