Yesterday we celebrated the 60th birthday of Graeme Roodt. It was fitting that it was Father's day too, we as his children and family thought it the perfect opportunity to honor his Legacy while still alive.
Legacy focuses on what we will endure. It’s about passing on things of lasting value to those who will live on after us and aims to build into the success of the next generation.
The Bible says that a good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, one that will live on beyond riches and wealth. The impact that our father has had on us thus far is immeasurable. We consider ourselves blessed to have a man of your stature leading the way for us. The outpouring of love from all corners was testament to how you impact all those who you come into contact with.
It was a day filled with surprises, love, family and friends and some friends who have quite literally become family too and even some old friends from yesteryear.
Happy Birthday and Father's day, albeit a day late, to Graeme "Koppe" Roodt. Aka "Big Wheels" Aka "The Wheelie King".
MAY YOUR "BIG WHEELS KEEP ON TURNING" FOR ANOTHER 60 YEARS. 🤭
Thank you to the Freedom Riders, Strawdogs and his teammates from Lansdowne Eagles Baseball Club for the suprise drive bys and well wishes and everyone else who contributed to making his birthday memorable. He was truly suprised something he vowed we could never do.
Biker, baseballer, trucker, music lover, partner, friend, father, grandfather, brother and son and oh so many other boxes that you tick. You truly are 1 in a million.
We love you. 💖
