Greeting

Note from Keri:

Dear Daddy,

This blog contains birthday wishes for you from people near and far. It is evident that you are loved by many and that you make an impact wherever you go.

I hope you enjoy reading your "birthday cards" and that your birthday is as wonderful as YOU are!

WE ALL LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!

From Mary

Dear Ken,

Belated, but very sincere wishes for your 60th birthday! I realized when I hit that milestone what a great privilege it is to live so long. In fact, I've grown rather impatient with folks who complain about growing old, when it's such a marvelous gift! Enjoy! Congratulations!

With every best wish, Mary and John Lehoczky

From Kevin Burdette

Ken, I hope you had a great birthday. I heard it was a "significant" one. I pray this is your best year ever. I'm glad you are my friend and wish you all the best.

Kevin Burdette

From Lorri

Happy Birthday Kennnn,

You are and have always been such a genuine loving friend. Never judgemental only fun happy and caring, your light so shines! I am, proud to call you my friend!

Happy Birthday!


From Becky <3

How can I even begin to thank you for this journey that God has allowed us to share with each other?

Guess I would start it when we were in 7thgrade until today some 48 years later. I am very blessed to call you my husband and my very best friend.  I could write a novel but Keri might not publish it – so I'll just say happy birthday to my sweetheart!!

I'll love you forever,

Becky

From Emily and Annesa

Ken...you're one of THE most enjoyable people we know. You have an incredible ability to engage people in conversation, knowing when to speak and when to listen. Your quirky play-on-word humor and "Hunnicutt-ups" add to the enjoyment of every conversation. You are consistently positive and encouraging. We love you to the moon and back!! To another 60 years! ;)

Happiest birthday!!!!
Em and Nes

From Keri

Daddy's Girl

When I was small you picked me up,
You held me tight, consoled my fright.
You made me laugh by tickling me
By talking weird like "thouest thee"
By hanging socks from both your ears
And sticking your tongue thru napkins
And most of all, you made me smile by imitating me....

When I was young you picked me up
You taught me well, as most could tell
Like how to pray and act and live
And how to share and how to give

When I grew up you picked me up
And dusted off the broken stuff
You always love and always care
Even when I've made it tough
You showed me how to really love
By loving Mom and us kids
But the biggest way was when you showed me how I should forgive.

You prepared me for my husband
And taught me how to be loved
Of all the things you sent my way
I'm most grateful for His blood.

And even now, you pick me up
You're always there, with steady love
On rotten days you tell me jokes
And build me up with words
And help me see the funny part
Of whatever life incurs.

Our never-ending pun contest is my favorite. :)

I love you, TAD!

From Tim

Hey Father-in-Law...or should I say "outlaw"! Happy Birthday! You have been a great encouragement in this crazy world of marriage to your daughter, as well as parenting your first and coolest grandson. I am proud to call you family and Isaac is proud to call you NYEHHHHHHHG!!!!!!!

The Son-in-Law,
Tim

From Ryan

You taught me how to ride a bike, drive a car, but most importantly to ski. You were always around to help and comfort me, yet never to coddle me. You've shown me how to treat a lady, and how to be a man of integrity. I hope that I can still learn much more if those creaky bones can handle it (I couldn't make it all sappy!)

Love ya Dad,
Ryan

From Kylie

Dear Uncle Ken,
Happy happy birthday to you! I am so privileged to call you Uncle and to have your family as my own. How I loved elementary school years sharing a back fence and growing up as siblings, not just cousins, with Keri and Ryan. I love remembering your funny noises, charades and games as we waited for baby Emily to be born! I love how we frequently get to see you even now, how you love my children, how you have befriended my husband. I sure do love you!

I love the steadfast example you have set for us all. You are faithful to our beloved Memaw and Papaw. You are faithful to your wife and your kids. You are faithful to our heavenly Father, no matter what. Through all the trials, the confusion, the set backs of my growing up years, you remained faithful. You believed God with all your heart- that He was for you and for your family. You believed a Holy God over any man. You were and are unwavering in your devotion to Him. I give Papaw some credit for setting such a tremendous example for you :) but even more I credit our Loving God for His relentless pursuit of you, of Becky, of Keri and of Ryan. And I give you the honor now, on your 60th birthday :), of knowing that I saw and see your devotion and it encourages me and all who know and see you!

If I had to write only one word for you, it would be this: my Uncle Ken is FAITHFUL. Few things in life remain that stable, secure and unwavering. You and your love for God are one of those few. I praise God for giving you to our family. I praise Him for His faithfulness to us. And I honor you for you faithfulness to Him. Happy Birthday! May you feel His pleasure and blessings over you today and always!

Love you so much!
Kylie

From Jill

Happy Birthday Ken! To the best shoulder-rubber that I know. Not many wives would let their husband massage another woman's shoulders but yours does. And you do the best job!!! Hope this day is terrific and that you have many many more. Just a few more years and you'll start getting Social Security. Love you - Jill

From Crystal (and the kids!)

Happy Birthday!!
Man, it's been a LONG time since I was a screaming baby in your car!!! Haha. I pray you have a wonderful day and many more birthdays!
Love ya!
Crystal
P.S. all the kiddos say Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!

From Jeramy

Ken,
You're a great and Godly man and its good to know you. Thanks for being a man to look up to. God bless and many more Birthdays, love The Jerm.

From Alan

well well
60 huh !
the Old Coot days are here and going strong
wish you good health - happiness and that you figure out just the best way to retrieve ducks ! ( from a lot of years ago )
your bro in Christ FOREVER
Alan

From Tom

Happy Birthday brother-in-law! 60 used to sound old, but no more. You're still one of the only people I've ever seen get knocked out of your ski boots waiting on the lift! Hope these messages give you the same kick as that day. Hope it's great day and great year for you!
Love you, Tom

From Joe

Ken my friend, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! You have been a great Godly friend to me, the boys and Amber. I can't believe seventeen years have come and gone! I have fond memories of "Santa" holding all three boys in his lap. I'm not sure they were thrilled with the big red hairy man at the time but what a picture! I can't express how much you, Becky, Keri, Ryan and the whole family mean to me. You made us feel welcome and "adopted" us when we didn't have any other family nearby. May God continue to bless you even more than he has!! Joe, Kolby, Zachery and Morgan Scrivner.

From Keith Crouch

Ken,

Well, IT is here my friend. The great "6-00000". Some people fear it. Some people dose off. Some people hit the rip-cord.  I know you my friend. You'll pull back on the stick and do the loops! You usually go "loopy" for our staff meetings. As I tell people, you always provide the stand-up comedy. And as I also say, you are "good medicine" for us. You are "Special" and I mean that it a good way. 

Ken, you have blessed many lives in your 60 years and I/we are recipients of God's blessings through you. Thank you for making us all better. 

Happy Birthday!!!

Keith

From Verna

 Congratulations, Ken, on reaching an important milestone in your life.
We are getting a terrible rain storm right now.  Hope I get this finished before I get washed away.  They  have predicted up to seven inches some places.
I hope you are having a VERY GOOD BIRTHDAY today and I am sure you have Isaac to help with the celebrations.
I hear all Very Important People have birthdays around January 10th to January 12th, so you fit right in there.
Thank you, Ken for being such an important part of our big family for all these years.  We Love You and hope you have a good one this year, with many more to come. 
Love,
Verna

From Aunt Carolyn and Uncle Dewey

Kenneth,
Can't believe you are the BIG 60 because we are not that old ourselves and your mom is just 3 1/2 months older than Aunt Carolyn - so somewhere - someone has the figures down wrong. You and Neil should still be going to Duck Creek to go fishing or riding motorcycles out to Harmon's pit - guess you have always had an angel on your shoulder to help you survive the creek flood and motorcycle crashes.
Love,
Aunt Carolyn and Uncle Dewey

From Gary Bayless

Ouch my back, ouch my knee, ouch my shoulder! Remember when life was just a pain in the behind!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOUNG FELLA,

Gary and Vicki Bayless

From Mack Phipps

Thank God people don't age as fast as other creatures, because otherwise you'd be gone by now. Just Kidding! But you could tell everyone you are not 60…just a 40 year old with 20 years of experience. Happy Birthday Cuz!

Mack & Dee Phipps

From Pat E.

I thank my God always upon every remembrance of you. I really do. The day you joined our staff at Church Architecture you brought an extra measure of joy and happiness, as well as your excellent understanding of how churches work. We all light up around here when you show up in the Dallas office! I can't begin to tell you how much the combination of talent and sensitivity you have has blessed my life. Thank you for showing how to love your family, how to cherish your precious Becky, and now how to be a grand Grandfather. Thank you for your generosity, for holding life as precious and dear, just as one ought, and for being such a wonderful friend. We can't do without you now, so plan to stick around. 
Deeply grateful to God to have you as a friend and co-worker, Pat E.

From Doug and Dorothy

A very, very Happy "Big" Birthday to you Ken. How blessed we are to have you as "family" for 40 years. And how Great is our God in healing you of cancer.

Too many wonderful memories to relate all but oh how we shared in such good times, in golf in Angel Fire plus all that went with that. "Family tournaments, seeing big herds of elk, seeing bears around the club house and on our back deck, and of course skiing for those of you who skied.

Ken we are thankful for you with your great spirit in love of your Lord, your funny quips at the drop of a hat, and for the wonderful way you care for and love our precious Becky. We love you Ken and pray for many more years to come in health and happiness. God Bless you and your role as Paw-pa. (Oh he is so wonderful)

From Jeanne B.

Happy Birthday, Ken!  

Sixty is not what it used to be.  Now I read books they talk about an elderly person. When they get around to telling the character's age, they're in their 60's!  They can't walk without a limp. They can't climb stairs. They're ready for the nursing home!  Well we aren't!!  60 is the new 50… or after further thought maybe 40!    Mind over matter!  If you don't mind it don't matter!  Let's not mind!  Let's just keep going like the "energizer bunny!"  Now come on. Get your cane! We're going out!!

Luv ya much!  

Jeanne B at the BGCT!


From Brenda and Dean

Hey Old Neighbor! Okay...in this case we meant "former" neighbor, but with this birthday approaching, well...perhaps the adjective applies in two ways. :0 Ha. We're kidding, as obviously, with you, 60 is the new 59. LOL Ah, Ken. If you're like us, you are grateful for EVERY birthday you get because it means you're still around, and we wish you all the happiness, health and joy in this next decade of your life. When people say you don't look a certain age, it begs the question as to exactly what age we do look, right??!!! So, for the record, you don't look 60, but much younger, and that good skin care and good, clean living have served you well. At least that skin care, anyway. And, you've never acted your age (like another husband I happen to know), which makes you even more fun.

Hugs and best wishes for a Happy, Happy Birthday!!!

Brenda and Dean

From Christi Kleeburg

Happy Birthday my former New Life "Cluster Buddy"!!!! I hope you have a fantastic day and year ahead. You are an awesome Man.

Love ya, Christi Kleeburg

From Mother and Daddy

Can't believe our No. 1 son could be 60 years old ! You sure don't look like it!

We want to say a warm Happy Birthday and best wishes for a wonderful, happy, well year ahead! No one could ever wish for a more wonderful son than you have always been !
Daily thoughts of you always brings joy to our hearts.

Your frequent calls to us, sometimes just to say "I love you", mean so very much !!

Love from a proud Mother and Daddy

From JoAnn Land

Happy Birthday Ken! May the upcoming year be filled with happiness. A new grandchild can sure add to your happiness! Enjoy!

From Janet

Happy birthday to my awesome big brother!
I've been blessed by you my whole life -- yes that means you're older than me! :)
I love that you never meet a stranger, that you are so patient, kind, compassionate, considerate and have such a servant heart. When I need a good laugh I can always count on your incredibly corny jokes or play on words! I can't help but smile when you play your mouth trumpet (I don't know what else to call it) or thump your cheek to create drops - even though I've heard it a thousand times! :) You are one of a kind and I'm so glad you're my brother!
Have fun celebrating! You deserve the BEST day!
love you brother dear!
Doobie

From Bill Hughes

There is no better friend to wish a happy birthday to. It is amazing you have survived some of the yard sales at angel Fire you participated in to be an old ….ughh..codger. Happy Birthday, and may you and your precious wife celebrate many more.
Blessings

Happy Birthday Ken.  Nothing but great memories of our time together we've all been through a lot, but one thing hold true... God is faithful and can be relied on in every circumstance.  Have a great day and a great year.

From Sherry

HAPPPPPPY BIRTHDAY KEN HUNNICUTT!!!! I HOPE IT IS YOUR BEST EVER!!!

This is for everyone else to know how wonderful it is to have YOU as a
cousin.........while traveling through Tyler, I drop in on my sweet
cousins, Ken and Becky. They are more than hospitable. They allow me
to rest in the "coma" room giving the most peaceful quiet and dark
atmosphere. I sleep like a baby in that room. Not only that, coffee is
served bright and early with the most cheerful welcoming
voice.....that would be yours Ken! You are amazing in how you have
gone out of your way to make me and whomever is with me feel warmly
welcome. I appreciate that more than you will ever know. I know you
are always busy, but you drop everything to host. THAT IS A WONDERFUL
GIFT!

Hopefully one day, I will make people feel as loved and significant as
you do!!!!

With much love and celebration, I send you the best of wishes for this
landmark birthday!!!! OK, I was alluding to the number, but I can't
make this just sappy!!!!

Love ya Ken......and Becky!!!

Sherry

From Ashlee

I am so thankful for Ken! I used to stay with them when I was traveling for work and they were so gracious to me! Ken would bring coffee on a tray and leave it at my door with tiny little creamers in my favorite flavor. He would make sure my car was working well, and that I knew where I was going. He has such a compassionate kind heart!

I love you Ken!

Happy Birthday!

Ashlee
