Here’s a little extended card to celebrate you and the day!

(Note: some of the images are actually galleries, so be sure to click to the right wherever you see an arrow to see all the pictures!)


Let’s start at the beginning: you were noteworthy, even before you officially came into the world.

Since then, the family has done a little more growing.

And while times have changed since 1953, your love for your family — and their love for you — have been constants.

You’re passionate about what you do & what you believe in.

…but also know how important it is to laugh…

…and to never take yourself too seriously.

You’ve always been there for me.

You’ve given me one of my best friends and favorite people I know.

…and she has given all of us three guys (four if you count Manny!) that brighten our lives so much.


Our family hangs, and long talks over dinner, and meet ups in Boston and New York and Nantucket are some of the things that I most look forward to in the world.

You’ve been the best uncle — often like a second dad — to all of us cousins, supporting us and guiding us as we’ve grown.


You’re always looking to make the future better…

…while always remembering and instilling in our family a deep sense and appreciation of where we came from.

There aren’t words to capture how much you mean to me, to our whole family, to so many people. The world has been a better place for 65 years because you’ve been on it, and because of your impact on so many people’s lives, it will continue to be so for years and years to come.
