World's oldest man dies at 113

Wow, what a life. He saw the earliest planes fly, help maintained them in WWI as one of the original members of the RAF, saw the advent of the mass produced automobile and later worked in a Ford motor factory. Just think of how much the world changed during this guy's life! Cheers to a life well lived! :beer:

Lived in 3 centuries too.
Didn't want to talk about WWI.
It has been forgotten now, but WWII was a picnic compared to the horrors of WWI.
