Hey buddy,
Another quick year went by ! I know you are watching us from above and about this time you would be servicing your John Deer tractors. I remember the pride and excitement you had when bought one or scored a deal. You flipped them and sold them to people and they got a good tractor ! 
Some even had a holder for your beers. Until next year take care buddy...
Your son,
Craig 

Hey buddy,
Happy Birthday! I can't believe another year has passed already. It's hard to imagine. I miss hearing about your deals, corvette, or joking around. It's not the same this time of year without you. So I'm sure your looking down on us -this ones for you. Cheers ! 
Your son always,
Craig
