Happy Birthday!

Today is my brother's birthday. My only brother. My only family (except our kids, of course).
For those who don't know him......

My brother is very gifted; he can do anything he decides to do. He created an entire suite in his basement from scratch, doing all the framing, drywall, electrical, plumbing, and hvac. He is an artist who works primarily with photography. He is a model railroader who uses his artistic ability to create an entire miniature world. He is a preacher who prepares himself mentally for days.

He is the grandfather of four doting little girls and the father of two delightful daughters and is married to the best sister-in-law anyone could ask for; and all those females add up to his own beloved fan club.

He has a joyous sense of humor, sometimes a little repetitive, but always infectious. He can charm the socks off anyone if he decides to. And when it comes to dominoes he is THE gamemaster.

He is a man of deep faith who works hard at living what he believes. He doesn't always do what is best for his health and that worries those who love him.

He is becoming a good golfer. He is one of the best drivers I have ever ridden with. He can be very very stubborn.

I am so grateful that he is my brother and friend. I love him very much. Happy Birthday,
Richard.
