He certainly had a way with expressing himself at times, but overall he seemed like a good man! RIP

99 is insane.

My grandmother made 99 (6 months shy of 100), hope some of those genes made their way into my system.
But yeah a seriously long life. And he seemed to be in pretty good shape until very recently.

I can't fathom being retired for 30-35 years. that's nuts. but I guess anything's possible.

I had a great grandmother die at 99, a grandmother at 95 and my other grandmother at 105. All three were in pretty good physical and mental health until not long before death.

I have genes for longevity. My main worry is how the hell I'm going to save enough money to pay for that many years of retirement.

Pffft. I’ll likely be dead before 70.
