The secret is that he spent 111 years training for this.

[anunusualironiccircumstanc]

Almost 113 years old. He’s seen many friends and family die over the years, the huge advance in technology, wars, natural disasters etc and he’s still a very happy person. 👌🏼

[ip_yt]

The sad thing is that he outlived his own children.

[judegaming]

The only guy who can tell your grandparents a story

“What is the secret to a long life?”
“To smile.”
Agreed man

[BCrudeless]

imagine turning 118 and remembering when you first became an adult a hundred years ago

[Juipukka]

[harshagarwal]

So cute and lovely he is, always having a smile on his face. His wrinkles aren't able to dominate his smile. Long

[evanshegami]

I have a man at my church who's 105 years old. Drives himself wherever he wants. Does whatever he wants. He is a man who's done all he needs to. But he still has a reason to be living if he hasn't passed.

[IWR_YT]

A couple more weeks and he’ll be a teen again.

Edit: he died at February 24. So rip
