Everyone: You remember 80s music?
Him: Yup, 1880s

Imagine being 73 years old, and not realizing you'll live for another 73 years

[vintagejock]

Even though he may not be exactly 145. He definitely is above 100 and so congrats to him for living this long

[zoeycomila]

He out lived his own kids???? That's some dark shit.

I heartily appreciate the grand grand children for their unflinching care and affection being shown to this old man, is indeed the lifeline. May God bless this Oldman with eventful and joyous further life

He’s not 145 years old. He’s old for sure, around 100 years old.

[cestlacecil]

Person: What do you remember in the 90s?
Him: 1890s or 1990s?

‘Only 90s kid’s will remember’
*bruh which 90s???*

[Eugenesis]

Imagine being 100 and like saying “yeah, I’m still got 45 years to go” 🤣

[jesspeinado]

He's being taken care of by his grandchildren. That speaks volumes for the family and culture he lives in. All positive.
Instead of a toxic society where relatives hate, fight and don't speak to one another. Where neighbor murders neighbor, or kills a total stranger for no apparent reason. Where police too often kill those they are supposed to be protecting.

[glubol]

Damn, so he was 69 years old when WW2 began.

[chuckvelten]

And I'm sure he was able to legitimately document how old he was, right ?

[neddalakhdarchaoche]

Wow how great is that to live until you are 145 years old. He sure has experience so much in his life!!!

[KRAYZ]

Damn he survived longer than his children.
Winner winner chicken dinner.

[trollderiu]

If he is 145 years old, his grandchildren should be in their 90s.. lol

His secret to a long life? Shows him holding a cigarette
