Color-Blind Naperville Man Gets Surprise Of Lifetime

NAPERVILLE, IL — Bob Happ knew there might be a celebration for his two-year anniversary with F3 Naperville, but he might not have expected the surprise he got. Happ, affectionately nicknamed "Bob Ross," who is color blind, was gifted special glasses that allow him to see in color.

"A Debt of Gratitude"

Members and friends of F3 Naperville donned red and green shirts as they awaited Happ's arrival. When Happ got to where everyone, along with members of his family were waiting, they all shouted, "We love you, Bob."

"Two years ago you started this journey with F3 Naperville. During this time, you've found your way into the hearts of many in the community."

"Today, those present and not present owe a debt of gratitude to you for influencing their involvement with F3 Naperville."

"I've Never Seen That Before in My Life"

Happ opened the glasses to a round of applause and to the entire group chanting, "Put them on."

With tears in his eyes, Happ put on the glasses, saying, "I don't know what to think here; I've never experienced this moment ever."

He then turned to see red and green shirts on his friends and family members in full color for the first time.

Happ was then presented with a framed picture he had painted with the help of his wife. Now, able to see it in full color, Happ said, "I've never seen that before in my life."

According to its website F3 Naperville is a men's workout group whose mission is "to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership."
