So yes, today Lynn turns 52- and he doesn't seem a day over 40!! Tonight we went out to his favorite restaurant, Ruth's Chris, and all pigged out on steaks, fish, and dessert. It's been an awful, awful week for him- one of our superintendents was diagnosed with liver cancer and his phone has not stopped ringing, but he just carries on. So to honor him-
The Top Ten List of Why We Love the Big Guy:
10. He remains unfazed even when mass chaos is erupting all around him- and can I tell you how often that happens!
9. He never ever asks me what I've spent on something for the house or how much a wedding is costing him.
8. He will wear pastel gingham shirts, while still remaining masculine- need I say more?
7. He is incredibly sentimental when it comes to his children and grandchildren and loves them with every fiber of his being- how many men do you know that will tell a young man who has just asked to marry his daughter that as far as he was concerned that young man "completed her"?
7A. He loves his sons-in-law and respects them and loves to take them fishing.
6. He respects women and truly believes that they are the greatest thing the Lord created and that he is truly blessed to have so many in his life. It puzzles him when people ask him if he's sad he doesn't have a son and he just smiles and says no.
6A. He loves the dogs almost as much as his children- and even tolerates the cat.
5. When his fourth daughter was born he said "Thank God, it's another little girl" to which everyone teared up and laughed at the same time.
4. He is dedicated to his business and takes great pride in doing his best. He is not only ethical in his dealings but generous to his employees.
3. He looks smoking hot when he drives his new car with his sunglasses on and his cool goatee (sorry girls)!
3A. He has started working out and is dedicated to having a strong, healthy body.
2. He arranged so that every Thursday fresh flowers are delivered to our house. He tries hard to be a loving and romantic husband.
1. He is true to his beliefs and never wavers from his testimony of our Savior and sets a great example of the Priesthood.

Happy Birthday Uncle Lynn!
That is so sweet! Dad is definately a unique guy! I feel so blessed to have a dad that in in tune with girls! He handles the chaos so well. Jon is pretty sure he will have all girls (the kershaw curse), and I am so glad that he has such a good role model to handle it! I'm going to add #11. Dad gives the best advice! With so many BIG choices to be made now, I am looking forward to being home with him for his counsel and guidance!
Happy Birthday Lynn! I'm glad I've been able to see Lynn in different aspects of life...as my best friend's dad and also as my employer. I was always impressed with how he handled stressful situations and tried to always do what was right...and yes, you're both very generous to your employees! By the way--who was diagnosed with liver cancer? That's sad and scary!
Happy Birthday Lynn!! What good example you are in this day of what defines what a good man is. It is so great the way you treat Susie and your daughters and extended family. I loved the picture of you, Susie and Lynn". Only 52 I have corns on my older than that.Enjoy your granddaughers they grow up so very fast. I know that you cherish the moments and that is what counts.
2nd comment I left out toe. My mind goes faster than my fingers and sometimes the two don't connect.
