HAPPY 60th BIRTHDAY LOU!!!!! - November 27th, 2020
Sadly, because of distance and Covid-19 considerations we cannot all come
together and throw a surprise party for Lou, like we
held 10 years ago at Annuciata in St. Louis.
Instead, we could all write him a note of congratulations and appreciation for
the impact he has had on our lives, right? and join in a conference call, too!
We, Lou's siblings, ask you,
his friends and family to add to the fun by doing these:
1. Share the
Facebook event
page with everyone who knows Lou. Mention that there is a link to this web page
(where we'll compile everyone's messages for him to see them on Friday).
2. Please add comments,
photos, remembrances, really any Happy Birthday wishes for Lou to
this event on
Facebook 23Mon through 26Thursday.
3. Join the video concall! We'll reveal everyone's comments and good wishes during a
Zoom celebration conference call occurring this Friday November 27th...
To join the Zoom call, Meeting ID: 898 5505 4041, note the Password: 009824
@ 5pm Western, 6pm Mountain,
7pm Central, 8pm Eastern time!
During this week we'll add your inputs submitted to various places onto this page. Please share it! Also, the zoom call recording is now copied below.
Thank you and we look forward
to joining you on Friday to mutually congratulate and celebrate our brother, Lou Tevlin!
Anna Lee, Linda, Mary, Leo, Pete,
and Amy!

FYI, for fun, see pictures and videos from our 2010 (Lou's 50th) celebration here.
Here are your responses to our invitation to comment:
Hey Lou,
Being 13 months apart, we've been through a lot together. It's always been an
inspiration to me to watch you solve challenges and reveal your strengths. You
truly have learned the special things about life and love and faith that our
dear parents taught us and you have always shared them selflessly.
As one of your biggest fans through thick and thin I celebrate your unique
qualities today and I wish that God may bless you with the happiest of
birthdays! May your future be bright!
I wish we could celebrate as a group but this year has challenged that
opportunity. We'll plan to get-together in the not too distant future and we'll
raise a toast then.
Cheers to 60 years, brother! ⚜ Pete
Pete, I am definitely honored to be among the folks invited to participate in Lou’s 60thbirthday bash. I hope it will be OK for me to simply send him a congratulatory email Friday.
By my standard Lou is a spring chicken. If I make it to December 6 I will “celebrate” 91 years on this beautiful planet.
I applaud your “virtual” celebration of Lou’s 60th year. Feel free to somehow include this email in the avalanche of greetings to Lou.

I'd love to go, but it's 1 am for me - I can't promise I'll be awake. Happy
Birthday to Lou!

Happy Birthday LOU! as the good book says; Eat Cake! you might wonder, where
does it say that?, well on page 187 in Betty Crockers CookBook, which
happens to be a good book. It's a good recipe for German Chocolate Cake!
Have a good one Buddy! Your pal, Craig

Louis,
Happy Birthday my sweet cousin!
While considering how to best honor you tonight I was treated to a host of
wonderful memories of our summer adventures!
A few of my favorites include a very late night in front of my dad's stereo
going through all of the clues across The Beatles music explaining the
rumors that "Paul is dead!" Right down to playing the album backwards at
just the right speed so you could hear it! Then sending you out to sleep in
truck camper in the backyard at Sunnyoaks! I'm not sure you slept that
night!
There were the nights cruizin' downtown San Jose because it was like that
scene from American Graffiti, with all the classic cars, and the low-riders
with the cars that bounce!
Or watching the movie Jaws the summer it came out in the theater, then both
of us thinking twice before stepping onto the sand when my mom took us to
the beach the next day!
There was the gondola ride at Six Flags back there in Missouri where a few
of the cousins took advantage of the moving ride to practice their "bombing"
skills on unsuspecting pedestrians below!
And as we grew older I recall a fabulous late night in St. Louis being
introduced to Kamikazi's and your MLB friends!
Then there was a night on the balcony of the Sky-Crib discussing things of
life into the wee hours while overseeing beautiful St. Louis. I don't think
we solved anything, but there was much laughter and many big thoughts!
But mostly when I think of you I think of a man of integrity, gentle
strength of character, thoughtfulness beyond belief, a love so big that one
feels completely safe to be oneself when they are with you. You have the
best smile and your hug is rivaled only by your Aunt Re!
You have always had my whole heart and respect. I hope you have a most
wonderful birthday - at least as wonderful as you are!
May the Lord bless you as you have been a blessing to so many. May you feel
the presence of Jesus Christ every day as you move into this next special
time of your life.
Welcome to the seventh (!) decade Lou! It's an adventure, to be sure!
Love you Lou,
Cass (Guerra) Hart
