Every year around this time

We see you on your mountain in our mind

As Travis and Dave set out on their way

We could only think of your birthday.

You should be in Colorado hunting elk.

We had the party at the pond; everyone toasted you with your Crown.

You would have loved fist pumping with Matthew watching Tylar's band.

We miss your guidance,

Not a day goes by when there isn't something we need your advice on.

To the smartest man we know, our hero who wears flannel and carries a crescent wrench.

Happy Birthday, Pops and Luv U Too.
