On Saturday, October 29th, 2011, my brother Todd celebrated the 59th anniversary of his birth. His long time company manager, Tammie Spencer, her husband Wayne, daughter Shandy, and two of Todd's long time employees, Sandy and John Stabo, planned a GRAND birthday party for Todd. It was held on the second floor of the south building at the Horizon Designs factory. The party started at 11:30AM and went until almost 4PM. Dozens of Todd's friends, relatives and business associates were in attendence. Todd's cousin Pat, whom we had not seen in many years, flew in from Los Angeles to visit, and Todd's cousin Maureen drove in from Minneapolis for the party too.

Tamy Spencer ordered a whole pile of pizzas of various thickness and topping combinations that were just scrumptious. Bob and his wife brought a large birthday cake, and many other people brought beer, soda, and finger food to feast upon. We tried to get photos of everyone who was in attendance, but it seems that some people, who were at the party, somehow managed to avoid the camera's lens. Please forgive us if you were at the party and are not represented in the photographs below.

As can be seen in the photos below everyone had a great time, especially Todd, who can be seen smiling and having a wonderful time visiting with all the people who showered him with more love than you can possibly imagine. If the measure of a person's fortune is gauged by the people who love and care about him, than Todd is surely one of the most fortunate. In any event, Todd is surely loved by more people than any person I know. And I am among those that love him the most.

Happy birthday little brother, and may the joy of God's love fill your heart now and for all of eternity. I love you Todd, more than you will ever know.
