💛 80 years young and still our Hi-Viz Hero! 💛
What a day! We managed to pull off a surprise party for Dad/ Grampa to celebrate his 80th birthday 🎉
Family, friends, workmates and so many wonderful people whose lives he has touched over the years all came together to celebrate him. The room was full of hi-viz, laughter, happy tears, balloons, cake and memories he’ll treasure forever. 💛
And one of the most special guests of all was little Calina Jayne, just 4 weeks old, who came along to celebrate Gordie’s 80th birthday. 🥹❤️ What a beautiful moment 80 years of life, love and memories, with a brand-new generation there to share the day with him.
Dad has always been the person who shows up for everyone else, so seeing so many people show up for him was incredibly special. It really says everything about the man he is. ❤️
😂 And judging by the amount of wh**ky he got, I reckon he’s got enough to have a bath in it every day until he reaches 100! 🥃🤣
So, 80 years of being loved, well… actually still 79! 😂 His actual birthday is the 9th, but at that age, who cares?! 🤣
Respected, appreciated and surrounded by so many people who love him. What an incredible way to celebrate an incredible man. 🥳🎂💛
Happy 80th birthday, Dad… when it actually arrives! 😂❤️ Our Hi-Viz Hero forever! 💛
