"Tom, old buddy! Just wanted to wish you a very Happy Birthday!! I will be attending a family wedding and unfortunately unable to join in on the festivities. I still remember you mixing that Gatorade when you were one of us.  Now that you've joined the riders, I don't get to see you that much. Enjoy the day and see ya at the video party,"

"Tom, you're the only person I know that can stop on a "killer hill" just to drink Lemonade" from a kid's stand last year.  The significant part is that you actually got back on the bike and road to top.  I am duly impressed."

Tom Ryan

"It is such a shame that "Team Ice-cream" doesn't know how to have fun!!!!
I hope that Pete Harris leaves town around his next "big birthday" (not sure what that is)  because I am sure that you will be planning something ...... we all know what pay-backs are like.
Tom, Happy, Happy 50th."

Love, Kathy
"I am unable to take part in the ride or party tomorrow due to parish duties followed by a family reunion.  Please be sure to wish Tom a great Happy B-day for me."

"Tom:
     You Old Crow!  If I was 50 again I'd check myself into a 'home' someplace!  Not now though, I was still wet behind the ears back then.
     We miss you on the support team, as always.  I keep waiting for this folly of yours to be over with, ride a bike for 500 miles, really Tom!
     I have to work on Saturday so I can not join you but wonders never cease so I may surprise you.  Have a very Happy 50th  Birthday Tom and may you have many more of them.  You will, if you keep riding!
     With my fondest regards,"

"Tom,
Happy 50th.  Sorry I couldn't join you to help celebrate this milestone birthday.  It was a great idea and sounds like a good time.  You have a good friend who coordinated this for you.  See you on future rides and enjoy your celebration.  You deserve it!"

"Tommmmmy!
Happy Birthday Old Man!   I met you on my very first Anchor House Training Ride in 1998.  I was behind everyone else at the time (nothing much has changed since then!) and you picked me up in a SAG vehicle.  You were still working SAG then. 

The following year I rode with your wife Jeanne, who is actually a much better rider than you!  The year after that you decided to join the ranks of the riders, not one of your best decisions, and our slow but happy group started to come together! That was a memorable year, various parts of your bike fell off every day.  Good thing you subsequently had Dan build you a new bike!  Did you request that Dan put that inscription, "Fatties Fit Fine", on your chainstay?  By the way, many of us have always wondered why you dropped your wonderful wife so many times that year?   I think you even received an award at the Yellow Truck for having done so.

Since that time you and Johnnie and I have become riding/training partners and good friends.   Even though you pushed me off my bike on Titus Mill Road and in West Amwell at that yard sale and on the ride this year in Amish Country, my elbow and I have forgiven you!   We may be the slowest group on the ride but we have the most fun and find the best ice cream.  

You are a good man Tom Imbrigiotta, may you have many more years to enjoy the ride, your friends and your wonderful family."

Pete
"Tom, sorry I missed the big event but we were forced to finish a Merrill Lynch job on Saturday.  I am sure all went well and we were thinking of you. Take care you old geezer." 

Bernie McClain
"Tom:
Barb and I just got back from a 400+ mile ride in Vermont which spanned
your birthday festivities.
You can be sure, however, that we were thinking of you every minute...
Especially when doing your specialty, big hills, of which VT has a few.
Also, every time we passed a Ben & Jerry's... Ha!
Hope you have many more, and we can all be there."

"Tom,
Sorry that Trudy and I could not join in your Birthday Gala, we happened to be riding the MS 150 "City to Shore" ride that day or we would have surely been in attendance.  I have read all of the notes that you received from others and looked at Pete's great website commemorating the day.  I can tell that you all had a tremendous time with lots of laughs and funny moments.
 
Such milestone Birthdays and events like this, are ones to be remembered and cherished forever.  Best wishes on achieving your 50th, life gets sweeter with every new year.   Keep on riding that bike."
 
Larry Vroom and Trudy Bryson
