We surprised him on his 65th. It was on Saturday, Sept. 18, 2004. Jim was out for part of the day, but when he returned, there was a surprise waiting for him.

His wife, Claire, had dozens of people to showed up for this surprise party. There were groups of friends, family, former employees from his oil company (Armstrong Heating and Air Conditioning) that he owned before retiring, Falls Township politicians, from when Jim was a Falls Township Supervisor, and even had a visit from Mike Fitzpatrick, Chairman/Commissioner for Bucks County's Government, and as of November 2nd, 2004, Congress Mike Fitzpatrick. Congradulations Mike.

We all met back in the pool area. Everyone had a great time. Great people, great food, great music, and a memorable event.

Before the night was over, Jim's birthday cake arrived. The cake was complete a delicious white and chocolate cake, having a picture of his new boat on the top of the cake.

Below, I've added some great pictures of our evening.

Enjoy the photos.
