Uncle Tim,
Happy 60th Birthday! What an awesome milestone you've reached! On this special day, I hope you know how much you are loved!
Thank you for always being such a great uncle! I have so many great memories of you that I can't even begin to relay them all! I can honestly say that you are the reason I have so many fond childhood memories from Lake Odessa. You were always so willing to spend hours dragging all of us kids around the lake on your boat. I know that there were probably times when you weren't too excited about it and would rather have spent time with the adults, but you always did it with a cheerful heart. As an adult now, I realize what it must have cost you to constantly be pumping gas into that boat, so that we could all have a good time. Thank you for your generous spirit!

One funny memory I have happened when Kate and I were around 11 or 12 years old. We had hidden in the cabin of the boat and rode all the way to the boat ramp. You took the boat out of the lake and pulled it all the way back to the cottage without knowing we were hiding back there. We thought we were going to be in so much trouble when you discovered us, but you just shook your head, let out a big sigh with a half-smile, and told us to get out. I was so relieved! Looking back now, I realize how much patience you had with us kids, even when we did stupid things!
Thank you so much for the kindness you always showed all of us kids. I know that I always felt very comfortable on your boat, and never was worried that you would be mad if we got it dirty or wet. We could just have a good time and not be worried about anything else. I don't think I noticed those things when I was younger, but I do now, and I am so grateful to you. I will always remember staying for weeks on end at your house during the summer. I can't believe you never got sick of having another kid around!
Thank you for your gentle spirit, your kindness, and being so self-sacrificing! You truly are a great man!
Today, it is my prayer that you would be richly blessed in the same way that you have blessed so many others! I pray for His strength, peace, joy, health, and prosperity to be yours, and I pray that you have many, many more great years ahead of you!
"May the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace." Numbers 6:24-26 (NLT)
I love you, Uncle Tim!
