I remember just seeing him on your blog. A live, long lived and I suspect, well lived.
The oldest man now is a 111-yr-old in England.

He said, "I don’t really feel satisfied, because it means someone else has died. I just accept it as a fact..."
God bless x
That is a long long life.
I think he was glad he made it to that 'oldest man alive' title...he looks so happy in the picture!
