Dear Sir, What can one say to a remarkable man on a remarkable birthday? First of all, I am very glad that meeting my cara Sorella meant meeting you as well. You are generous with your time and affection and my kids and I appreciate it very much. Second, I hope we get to see much more of you; I have wonderful memories of times spent together, from an evening of flooded streets in MN many years ago, Italian movies that I doubt any of us remembers, playing ball with two little kids in a restaurant so that Karen and I could talk, and other fun times that won't be mentioned to protect the innocent and the less innocent, but there are still more memories to make, more places to order mac and cheese, more hugs and laughs to be had. And Third, Sir, enjoy your day in the company of people who love you dearly and for whom you mean so much. But please know that there are many more of us not in AZ with you, but still celebrating that you were born this fine...

One of my favorite memories is the time you spent with us in Florida and the golf game where we teed off into the fog and found our balls in the middle of the fairway. What is so surprising is that is not that often that happens for me.
Always makes me smile

I can only wish you have the best birthday ever with all your kids and grandchildren surrounding you. When we get home, we will celebrate one more time.
Always love seeing you and Karen, (need to do this more often). Your support has been a life savior for me more than once. Knowing you have my back anytime I need you is very important to me.
And you know you can always count on me, even if you don’t need a loan!!!! Another one of those times that I won’t forget, when we walked into your restaurant, and you were the maître d and I thought you were in financial trouble. But I meant it I would have loaned you the money, now you can loan me.
This message comes with love from Estra and I and again wish you a wonderful birthday and MANY MANY MORE
Jim and Estra
Wish we could be there
Such great comments. Thanks. That was a memorable golf outing. And, I could repeat all these comments about you. Much love to you both, and we will celebrate again soon.
