wtf?? HE WAS 109!!! The paper should say "There's no word on the cause of him living to be 109"!!

Hell, thats what I want to know.

famous quote by the late George Burns (who lived to be over 100):

An interviewer asks what his doctors think about him drinking and smoking everyday, he replied
"I don't know, they are all dead"

According to the funeral home, he drove his car until he was 104 and lived on his own until three years ago.

This is what I picked up on. Wow, that guy truly lived life. I have grandparents that are in their 80's and I don't know how much longer they'll be driving or living on their own...
 
Soon, there will be no more men from WW I left.

Most of us still on AD will probably be here to send off the last WWII vet and Korea vet as well.

Thank you for your service Dr. Coffey.

Sorry to see an old vet leave us, RIP. But nobody should be driving a motor vehicle at 104 years old..
 
God Bless em - what a story, what a man. That is how you live a life.
 
Almost 9 million Americans served during WW2. Most of them are already dead. I remember reading somewhere that we lose over 500 of them daily.
