114 Year old Melrose, MN man passed away yesterday

I believe he was the oldest man on the planet and 2nd only to a woman also living in the U.S.

114 year old former melrose man died yesterday – He said his longevity was credited to:

“Embrace change, even when the change slaps you in the face. (“Every change is good.”) Eat two meals a day. (“That’s all you need.”) Work as long as you can. (“That money’s going to come in handy.”) Help others. (“The more you do for others, the better shape you’re in.”) Then there’s the hardest part: Accept death “We’re going to die. Some people are scared of dying. Never be afraid to die. Because you’re born to die,” he said

Good post. Its amazing how old people are when they finally pass. I read that the oldest man (122) died many years ago but he was a heavy smoker almost his whole life

114 years – Thats a good run!!!

I think it’s the water… my grandpas brother that lived to be 108, was from that area too. Actually, he had a shot of brandy every morning… no crap.
