We celebrated my Dad's 70th Birthday while we were there. We wrote what we love about Papa! It was a great time celebrating The Myth, The Man, The Legend... Joe Whitney!
The Greatest Dad & Papa
As we celebrate your 70th Birthday, we wanted you
to know how much you mean to us.
Caroline
- · Very Supportive
- · Outgoing and can make us laugh
- · Entertaining
- · Creativeness to make things
- · Always Telling Jokes
Catherine
- · I love that you show and teach me about horses and I want to have a horse someday because of you
- · That you come to my basketball games and support me (although the refs do make bad calls all the time and you yell at them to make the right calls. Scratch that, make it you yell at them all the time)
- · How you push me to work harder in sports
- · I love the way you laugh
- · How you’re not afraid to speak loudly even when you shouldn’t
- · How you let us call you what we want to call you “PeePa”

I
love the way that you work hard at everything you do – big or small. You have
an amazing work ethic.
·
I
admire your love for the church and church body. You have always been such an
amazing church member. Our churches would be a whole new place if everyone
valued the church like you do.
·
I
appreciate the way you make everyone feel special. Whether a stranger in a
store to someone sick in the hospital.
·
Love
the way dad laughs and way he makes others laugh. Sometimes it’s just by listening to him laugh.
·
You
are a man of great integrity. You always know that you are going to do what is
right no matter what it might cost you.
Brooke
·
I
love that you love life. Whether you are jumping at a birthday party (best
memory ever) or going to school events like AK’s farm day or the kids sporting
events you always make time and you bring so much joy and yelling J to the room!
·
You
are the biggest cheerleader. You love your family and it shows. You make sure
to do anything and everything for your family. You don’t miss anything for your
grandkids! You also light up when you talk about your family.
·
You
are so dependable and loyal. If you are needed you are there. If anyone ever
asks you for anything you meet that need.
You also do it ASAP – you are incredible servant to your family and to
anyone you meet.
·
OU
Sooners & Jesus – you are the person I think about every Saturday and
Sunday. I love your love for the Sooners and your passion for Jesus. If I ask
anybody about you they know that you love the Sooners and that you are amazing
servant for Jesus and the Kingdom.
·
You’re
my hero! I think we have a lot in common, we usually lack tack and sometimes
need a filter but I hope that one day people would say I’m like my Dad because
that would mean that I put others before myself, I made a difference for God, I
loved my family, I had integrity, and I made a difference in this world!
We love you Dad and Papa! We are so blessed that you are
ours!
Happy Birthday!
