It’s about time the news put out some positivity. This man looks fantastic, and he inspires!

Now that’s a great story, fantastic young man ….

It's true for especially men when they don't have a job to do when they're older they can become stagnant and die. It happens to the best of them. That's why my father works 5 days a week still at a gas station at 66. After he retired he got bored and I don't blame him one bit. Bless this guy.

Go Joe! What a fantastic mental attitude. As long as your happy and enjoying what you're doing, keep going to work. By the look and sound of it youve got a great boss as well, which makes a huge difference ❤

Joe Grier’s a great guy! I was in the same congregation as him for years. He’s amazing.

When you enjoy what you do for a living life is so less stressful.

Work ethics, manners, etc. unlike those now.

Happy Birthday and wishing Mr. Joe many more! Also its great to see Anita Blanton reporting on this 👏 she was a news anchor here in the 757.

[MetaDecker]

As I get older I find that the elderly have some really good stories and experiences. I bet he has some good ones! This man is delightful, and how I want to be too at that age.

EDIT: I came back for some inspiration - I'm in a bit of a funk. This man is a treasure and I feel better already watching this interview once again. I wish all the best to Joe! "..most things are funny". 😄

Going to work actually keeps him alive. It keeps him talking to people. It keeps him moving around. It keeps him thinking and functioning.
