Best wishes and happy birthday to Dick Button! It's nice to celebrate positive news. Today is my oldest niece's birthday too. And Tenley Albright too. That's cool!

Here you go @paskatefan! Tim posted the photo on his Insta 2 years ago with the caption "The birthday boys are in the house. ??": https://www.instagram.com/p/BlXzUMilqtI/
