Now that is dedication.

This guy missed 1 day of work in 70 years, then retires at 100 years old and dies 1 month later.

just another example of making sure that you live life while you can. There's no point in saving up so that you can "live" when you get older, live now, there might not be a later.

That cool, elderly gentleman was on one
of the national network news shows a
few weeks ago...pretty remarkable guy
and he worked circles around his younger
cohorts.

He was also pretty dedicated to working with
seniors in volunteer stuff as an example of not
giving up and jes' sitting in the geriatric ctr.

A good run, he had...off to Valhalla.

If ever there was a guy who deserved 72 virgins waiting for him past the pearly gates, it's this dude. Not some cowardly murderers who worship their own twisted version of God.
