Dad's 80th Birthday

Here's a terrific e-mail from Vonnie... read, and comment...

Happy Birthday to our Dad
sent - Wed 10/18/2006 12:24 PM

It really struck me again today when I was thanking God for our Dad on his 80th birthday.....sure miss him being around and so thankful to have had such a great dad and grandpa for our kids...........just needed to share that with our brothers and sisters and Kemps--no one knows it like we do.

He'd sure be proud to see his growing grandchildren and how they have done......he'd have sure been proud of his great-grandchildren and seeing a number of his grandchildren in their roles as parents. He'd have felt old to hear his own kids be called "grandma and grandpa." :) Today, I could really hear his laughter and joy and delight in his family.

And of course, he's always been proud of his loving wife......

We miss you, Dad.

Amen and amen! Thank you, Vonnie and all, who are thinking of Dad today. You said it all very well, Von and I heartily agree! Tender day.

Much love to all!

Family ...

Roger and Tyler have been talking about Dad (Grandpa) today, too. We're in Boston ... feeling a little nostalgic ... reminiscing about our Boston season (1973-75).

We love you Mom! (Grandma).
