(WTAJ) — You may remember the story we shared of a New Jersey man pranked by his sons for his birthday.

His two boys made a huge billboard with his number on it asking for folks to call and wish him a happy birthday.

Now, Chris Ferry, the birthday man, decided to thank his sons and the more than 250,000people who called in an equally public way…by using the billboard!

He said he received calls from all over the world.

He also says he is  now recognized almost anywhere he goes as “The Billboard Dad.”
