"Herzlichen Glckwunsch zum Geburtstag!" (Happy Birthday!)

Just wanted to utilize this platform to wish my own "papa" a happy birthday all the way down in the south of Brazil. He is the one whose name I carry... he is the "senior", I am the "junior".

He was born to German-Brazilian parents, Frederick Ferdinand Kümpel and Delila Renck Kümpel, in the small town of Nao-Me-Toque (translated "do not touch me"), Brazil in October, 1940. Quite the inquisitive mind, he is the jack of all trades. In his endeavors, whether whitecollar or bluecollar, academic or physical - he is quick to display aptitude and competence...

Dad, you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are thinking of you... We love you.
Happy birthday from all of us!
