From the other half of the Miami delegation, HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAZ!!

# data[].attributes.body
Paz- There aren't enough words to sum up how important you are to us. We were blessed to have lived close to you for most of our childhood, and have so many memories from Dana Point. From spending hours cooking, to watching fireworks on the fourth of July, and howling at the moon, there has never been a dull moment. We wish so much that we can spend more time together once everything has blown over. We wish you the happiest of birthdays and love you so much!

We are eating a Cocido. Probably the largest meal I have ever eaten at one meal. The other picture shows that Tom generally needs a nap after such a meal.

I met Tom in the halls of the Edificio Espana, where we both worked after migrating to Madrid from different places but for similar reasons.  I won't say it was love at first sight, but I was intrigued when he asked me to go with him to a performance of the Robert Shaw Chorale, which was playing in Madrid  at that time.  Then afterward when he took me to a very modest-looking restaurant on the outskirts of town near the Plaza de Toros, I really got curious.  There was only one thing on the menu:  The most scrumptious roast lamb I have ever tasted.  It was a dish that a 3-star Michelin restaurant would be proud to serve.

That was an unforgettable first date.  It made me realize that this was a guy who would never let boredom seep into our lives, one who placed  a premium on having fun.  And that's how it's been ever since.  There have been some glorious times and some not-so-glorious ones.  We've had the privilege of living and working (and playing tennis in my case) in four different foreign countries and been blessed with four fantastic kids.  It's been a great ride with plenty of ups and downs over 63 years -- and it's never, ever, been boring.

Happy Birthday, Tom, with my love,

Weezer

This picture reminds me of a trip that we took together which typifies your approach to life.
1. Don't do anything like everyone else does- i.e. scuba diving in a cenote.
2. Always befriend everyone you meet- especially scuba diving instructors or random strangers at a bar.
3. Enjoy everything the environment has to offer- food, activities, music, margaritas...
On this trip, and in so many others ways, you have embraced every single one of your 90 years to the fullest, and brought all of us along for the ride that is your life!!

Dear Tom, I have been thinking about you a lot as this very special birthday approaches and I realize that you and Louise have been a part of our lives for almost 50 years! You and Alex  are the old guard of Cuervo but back then you were the new guys, of course. The two of you formed such a good relationship from the beginning that great things happened for Cuervo when you and Alex put your heads together. The projects you guys launched were phenomenal! From Beach Volleyball, to creative advertising and marketing, there was always something new up your sleeves. I still crack up when I see the photos of Alex with  the girls wearing the Adelita style leather belts with shot glasses. Lili and Tanya especially remember the campaigns with Pierce Brosnan and Willie Nelson-the latter appearing in a life size cutout for a 21st birthday on campus-a party still talked about!

Even more special to Alex and me and our daughters Lili and Tanya, you and Louise became friends-the best kind that stick together for decades and watch our children grow up, get married, and have those grandchildren. We became even closer when the work world was in the past as we grew older. I remember our daughters asking what they could do to be on your Christmas card list-they thought your funny Christmas letters were the best cards we got!  So many memories!  I am sorry Alex is no longer with us to celebrate with you but I am sure that he is watching from somewhere and wishing you well. And I promise that when we get through this pandemic, I will visit you and Louise at your new digs in California.

Te mando un abrazo con todo mi cariño!! Feliz Cumpleaños!
Connie

I met Tom 11 years ago at SCORE. What a complete gentleman!

What knowledge! What compassion for poor people attempting to start a business! ....

I was in awe of your Dad from day1. He became MY mentor. At some point he became my friend. He always had my respect.

Because of Tom, I got involved in coaching Marines at Camp Pendleton. Because of Tom, I now coach at Cal St. Fullerton's Veteran Resource Center (526 student vets, and 760 vet family/dependent students). Tom's influence is alive and thriving.

I believe that Tom's huge heart has its own gravitational pull. Without knowing it, he taught me to become interested in our military veteran's lives.

Tom and I enjoyed a good many laughs when we were together. (working wasn't working when I was with Tom -- it was fun or inspiring, or both!).

I once asked Tom, "What was your most memorable ad campaign for Jose Cuervo?"   His reply ... After a long day of trying to create a concise, meaningful byline for the Brand, we 'spliced the mainbrace' with a few cold ones.  The byline came to me and we rejoiced!

'Jose Cuervo -- Helping ugly people have sex since 1795'

Cheers, Tom.   Happy 90th !!!

I still love you more than a fat kid loves cake, Man!

Best to YOU,

Bob

Here we are canoeing on the Dordogne River in southwest France. We stopped at a landing and Jack volunteered to go get some beer. Failing to find a store, in desperation, he bought six beers from a riverside home using imperfect French.
