How old was that person? Could be anyone, family, friends, celebs, as long as you had reasonable interaction with them in some form.

I remember my great-grandfather was 98 and have vague memories as a young child. I have not met anyone who was over 100 years old.

The oldest American current alive.

My great grandmother. She was in her 90s and mean as ever

My wife's grandfather is 103 and still alive. He's been close to death for like 8 years but still kicking.

My great grandmother was 98 when she died. She lived from 1894 to 1992.

maternal grandpa died at 97.
paternal grandma died at 93.

been in rooms with 100+ers but did not "meet" them.

I have a 98 year old neighbor and she still drives.

I am curious if anyone has met a super-centenarian - 110 years and older.
That would be amazing. There aren't too many of those in this world.

My soul is eternal

My FIL is 99 and gave up driving 3 months ago, thankfully.

Interesting question. Have to think about that.

Maybe 90 for someone I really knew.

You're here!

My great Grandmother Very mean old woman

Not all lawyer don't have a Soul my wife is a Good lawyer

My family lives a long time, despite my efforts to not do that.

Grandpa on dad's side lived until 97
Grandma was 96 when she passed
Grandpa's sister Liz lived to be 103.
My dad is 84 and still fine despite drinking a 2/5ths bottle of Ol Grandad almost every single day since the early 90s
Both my dad's brothers are in their 80s and fine

On my Mom's side all the sisters died in their 70s
But my Grandad on that side lived to be 93
And his dad was well into his 100s when he finally died. I think he was 105 or 106. Mean Mean person with a mean mean lap dog. That little **** dog was vicious.

101 year old patient that I followed from age 93-101, still living semi-independently in a senior living complex when I last saw her. She lived to be 107.

I bought my CPA practice from a guy who was quite a bit older than me. Some of his clients were in their late 80s to early 90s when i took over. I would guess probably a dozen lived to be 98 to 103, Two made it past 100, one died at 101 and one at 103.

Maternal great grandparents made it to 100 (grandpa) and 101 (grandma)

Grandmother made it to 104 years, 8 months and 3 days.

Guy in my Rotary Club was 103. We had a birthday party for him and bought him birthday cards that added up to 103: one Happy 80th, one Happy 21st and one Happy 2nd.

I had a great aunt live to 104.

Uncle lived to be 101. WW2 veteran. He was present at the Nuremberg trails.

Used to mow the lawn for a lady that said she would live to be 100. And she did exactly that.

your mom

Mostly hover around politics most of the time and pop into entertainment and the zoo pretty often. Hate to say it but the GB really is dead

You aren't wrong.

I met Jesus and he's thousands of years old.

My wife had a grandmother that passed away last year at 102, we made a trip from Houston to Waco and back every few weeks to visit her after her daughter (my wife's mom) passed away from cancer 4 years ago and my wife because the closest relative.

Another interesting question is what person do you know that was born the earliest? For me that's one of my great grandmothers, I was in the 2nd grade when she passed away in 1976...she was born in 1886.

Grandfather on my father's side was 92 when he died. My father in law is 95.

This is interesting.

George Washington - In office April 30, 1789 March 4, 1797
John Tyler (March 29, 1790 January 18, 1862)

Quote:

---

Tyler and his son Lyon remarried much younger women and fathered children at advanced ages, such that Tyler's daughter Pearl did not die until the 157th year after her father's birth. As of January 2024, Tyler still has one living grandson (234 years after John Tyler's birth) through Lyon, making him the earliest former president with a living grandchild. This grandson, Harrison Ruffin Tyler was born in 1928 and maintains the family home, Sherwood Forest Plantation, in Charles City County, Virginia.

He is probably the only human being alive with a grandparent born in the 1700s. Amazing.
