#1 At 103, Hale was still living on his own and shovelling the snow off his rooftop.

My granddad died falling off the roof while helping re-shingle with 20 year material. He was ever (seriously) an optimist. Showed me how to do a hook slide when he was about 85. A man with the proper priorities.

#5 raptor : Your great grand-dad...

At 102 he built an addition to his house. At 93 his wife gave birth to a son.
