Just one year off three quarters of a century and still a legend in his own lunchbox! No I tell a lie - he is a legend to all that know and love him. An amazing man in so many ways - generous (with his love, time and worldly possessions), kind (to both animals and Mum!), well respected and respectful by and to others, a man of the community and a man who lives his life to the absolute full. A true rolemodel to his family and peers. Better stop now before this sounds like an obituary!
I truly admire and love my Dad very much, so this is a Birthday Hooray for him as I can't be with him in person to spoil him. It is also, a public declaration that he has a special meal waiting for him when he is up in Perth in September. I can't be with him this weekend as I am heading down to Dunsborough to stay in a resort (terrible) and have lots of lovely meals (even more terrible) at wineries (debaucherous) ... but I hope you know Dad - I WILL be thinking of you (well at least when I remember :-0)
I give you my amazing and wonderful Dad - Bobby! Happy Birthday to my Dad.

Missing in between are the pictures of the middle years - you know between building a house, kids, building another house, grandkids, building yet another house and finally retirement, after building the final (?) house. I cant show these pictures as he was always with a hammer in his hand, bending over showing a carpenters crack! (Not really, I have not yet scanned all the middle years photo's onto my PC) That's a retirement job! So we skip 40 years ...
