I don't see any threads about this. I meant to post this story last year. My uncle Art. My (deceased) dad's (deceased) sister's husband. He turned 101 yesterday!!

Last year, the Columbus news outlet picked up the story from the Dayton station that interviewed him and my cousin and the people at the VA and put it on their FB page. It got 200 likes and 20 birthday wishes, some from other states!

Sad news - my Uncle Art died on Monday. Sepsis from a gall bladder infection. 101 years old November 10.

I'm very sorry to hear it, @Susan1. May he rest in peace.

Lisa and I said our dads were up there golfing together again. (They would actually probably be out there today - 53 and sunny.)

That didn't come out right. I should have clarified when my dad was 80 and Art was 84, they would have been out there.

So sorry for your loss, Susan. May his memory be for a blessing.
