Comments: I know I've already sent you one of these but I
couldn't resist one more verbal punch. I remember 35 years ago in
Kindergarten you so wisely told me (as I recall) "I don't think we
should have to mind someone just because their forty yrs. old"
Little did I realize by agreeing with you that made me the fall guy.
Happy B-day you forty-year-old fart.

have heard the news. Hope you have a great day and an even greater

summer with you and you kicked me in the shins. I'm glad to hear that

Comments: Ran, We didn't know you were so popular and all those
nice things people are saying about. We feel special just to know you,
but thats the only nice thing we are going to say...What is up with that
hair cut, the national Barbers Assoc. called to say they're sorry and
will refund your money. ha ha ha We will always be younger than you too,
not to mention better looking. We are looking forward to visiting you
but we will be sure to bring a virus or two along for the ride...hee hee
Soooo, you feeling old yet? Are the bones starting to creak? Maybe
getting more tired then usual? Need to start having those yearly
physicals now. Just think only 25 more years and you will be eligible
for Medicare. You lucky dog! Have a Wonderful Birthday! We miss and love
you very much! Can't wait for the family trip next Summer. Kevin &
Michele JayCee and Boo Kitty too

territory :) We've always felt fortunate that a cute young couple at
church decided to hang out with some of us older members. You added fun,
spice and perspective to our gatherings and discussions. We are blessed
that you became a part of our lives, and we're pleased to wish you Happy
Birthday on this milestone. Love, Craig and Mary lee

Comments: Happy Birthday Ran - Hope you day is as AWESOME as you
are. I wish I could be there to help celebrate but you will be in my

done it. Amy and you are very very fortunate to have such nice children.
Jean and I are hopeful that you will have a happy birthday and we want

Comments: Ran - Congratulations on making it to 40. You know it's
all downhill from here (I oughta' know as I passed 40 already). Keep
your chin up and your head down (on the golf course, that is) and you'll
be OK. Before you know it we'll be celebrating your 50th Birthday. And
that really WILL be a bad day! 'Nuff said - ~Russ

Country :: N/A
Comments: Randall! Congrats on the big 4 0! You're still quite
buff in the pictures - must be the heavy lifting of the family demands
that keep you in such shape. Sure wish we could be there to blow up the
nasty black balloons and pass out tasteless gifts from Spencers. If
anyone deserves a rousing applause about making it to 40ty - it's you!
Take it easy this year. The porcelin god you generally worship this time
of year probably is a bit smaller then your accustomed (I sure hope your
parents are reading this). Forty? What ryhmes with forty? Portly.
Quirky. Gordy. Shorty. Yep. That's Randall. Have a great one! And now
we'll go drink one for you and another 40!

Country :: N/A
Comments: Randall (or Randal - it's good to know even family is
unsure of the spelling), I am not amazed at your age. You've always
seemed 40 to me. You drink like and old fart and all your old
girlfriends (we're starting an association of them next month) agree
that you've always shown your age. Your age has become so transparent
that I am writing a book "Under the glass bleachers w.
Randall" I hope the Texas sun isn't getting to your head. I hear in
alot about people going off "half-cocked" or
"half-baked" but that in Texas you do both. Thank God you
married well and that's only half the story:-)

you with "Hey, Old Man". We were not really sure how to handle
the situation, but... the more we thought about we realized Riley is
just a really smart kid!!!! Happy 40th Big Guy!!!

"howdy"...isn't that how you say "hi" in Texas?

Comments: Randal - It is a pleasure to have you as a member of
the fine officially 40 group. As you know it includes many important
people (like myself). (OOPS, did I spell your name right?! -- I can
never remember...) We are sorry we were unable to join in the joyful
celebration but I am sure it was a party to remember. We are proud to
have an old man like yourself as a member of our family and are happy to
know you now and to be able to say we knew you in your
"younger" days too! Happy 40th Randall! Love, Kerry

Comments: You know I struggle with anything technical. That's why
this is my second message. I know you can't only be 40! Next thing you
will be telling me you are only 220 pounds. (only kidding!) I really
miss you up here in Chicago area. I really don't hold it against you for
dumping all your headaches on me. Seriously, you were a big help in the
transition of your territory and I appreciate all the extra work you did
putting the maps together and all. The move came and went so quick and
we never got you and Amy over the house for dinner. You have an open
invitation when you get back this way. You are a great guy and friend.
Your ethics, faith, positive attitude and family values are going to
always keep you happy through good and bad times. Stay loyal to them.
Wish I could be with you to celebrate. Maybe when we get together with
Jim Braglia for golf in Houston. Have a great Birthday.

Only kidding - sneaking up on it myself and paybacks can be hell. So I
will simply say you wear all 40 years very well! Hope you have a great
birthday, and that it is the beginning of a great decade for you. Don't
forget to bring that family of yours back to Iowa someday soon.

Comments: Corporal Aikman: Your boss is ordering you to have a
great birthday. I'll be in town next week and we'll drink 40 beers to
celebrate (plus one to puke on). Just remember the hair on the top of
the head starts to get a little scarcer after forty - you might have to
start thinking about a mohawk.

Comments: My earliest memory of Ran: He threw a toy gun at me
when I was staying at his house and it hit me on my head. Sweet Aunt
Nadyne spanked him on the spot and he didn't talk to me the rest of the
time that I was there! Happy 40th! Jill

Comments: Randall, I'm shocked I didn't know you were going to be
40. I was telling our buddy Richard after our sales meeting in Las Vegas
that Randall looked as if he had lost a litte weight and was looking
younger. I said he doesn't look a day over 45. So you can imagine my
surprise at being told this is the big 40. Just Kidding. Have a Great
Birthday. Jeff

Comments: Hey Hon, Not only have you given my eight wonderful
years of marriage, and two beautiful kids, you are the best of friends
that a person can have. I hope your here for another at least 50. If the
knees were cracking at 30, does that mean they will stop for you at
40??? Love, Amy

Comments: If it wasn't tough enough being Bob's son-in-law, you
upped and married Bob's little girl, his youngest, and then I had to
compete with you always doing the extra six hours of woodchopping, the
extra week-end of raking, the deft skill at working an electric nail
gun...then you have to keep my wife confused with how to spell not only
your first but your last name as well (thats two L's and no C)...and
then there is those damn Dunkin Donuts---the most God awful donuts on
earth...yet you love em...and there is your golf game...always whining
about it but never ever not shooting a good round...and those damn
Arkansas Hogs...and which football team do you cheer for now...geez...and
what the hell are you doing in Texas anyway??? ahhh forget it...Have a
happy birthday and may 40 be special to the second best son-in-law Bob
ever had, to the donut chomping, bag peddling, basketball loving good
man I am proud to have as a brother-in-law! Kevin

Comments: Randall, I cannot believe it! 40! Here all this time I
thought of you like a son. Guess that isn't possible since I'm just 33,
ok, ok 33 for the 16th time. Randall you have always been a positive
influence in my life whether you knew it not. Your love for family, your
ethics and love of God has always had and still makes an impact on me. I
miss you & believe it not you taught me a lot, and although I have
not had much time to tell you that you are missed you are still in my
thoughts and prayers. Gosh! What can I say except "YOU ARE THE
GREATEST" and I wish all the best for you Amy, Zach, Jess and of
course Dakota & Bailey. Happy Birthday and I hope you know that
everything starts falling apart gradually NOW! Love Ya!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comments: Randall, You miserable son-of-a-bitch! 40 yrs. old , I
knew it, I knew when we were little kids you were a lot older than me
because the teacher wouldn't let you go to the John at the same time as
the rest of us. Seriously, happy 40th it seems like only yesterday your
voice was cracking to reach those high notes. Hope everything is going
well in Houston, tell Amy,Zack and Jess hi for me. love your body, RB

Comments: Randall, it's hard to believe that you got to be 40,
and I'm still 39. How did this happen????? Your Uncle Sonny and I want
to wish you the very best of birthdays, with many more to follow for the
next 100 years. Your cousins, Wendi and Craig, share our thoughts and
love to you. And, we're still waiting for you to bring Amy and those two
beautiful kids to Idaho. Since we don't have any grandkids, and it
doesn't look like we're going to have any, we would love to share yours.
Much love to you on the 8th. Love Aunt Jeannint and Uncle Sonny
