Happy Birthday Daddy!

February 6th seventy-four years ago a very special man was born. This man is my Daddy! It's hard to believe you are that you are 74. For one thing, you don't look a day over 60 :-) Also, it's amazing how you play tennis every day, still waterski and also became mayor of a city in Florida at the age of 73. You are incredible! Not only are you smart but you are a very loving father. You always spent time with me, Steph, Michelle and Andrew when we were growing up. You loved having all of us spend time together as a family. I will always remember the bike rides, the summers at the lake, teaching us how to waterski and sail, going to the Circus and the Ice Capades each year, all the vacations in the motor home (the best one was when you told us the night before we would wakeup in front of the White House and we did ) and the many trips to Florida. I could go on and on . . .You took us to church each Sunday and raised us in the ways of the Lord. You have accomplished a lot in your 74 years! We love you so much and want to wish you a very Happy Birthday! You are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!Here with his favorite buddy - Yankee!Daddy is an identical twin - here he is with Uncle Andrew A well deserved rest . . .


As you would say Dad, "The Whole Catastrophe!" (This is an inside joke)
