Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Have you lived longer than your father?

Lost my dad when he was 45 to heart attack he had health issues after being a prisoner of war serving in WW II, also lost both my older brothers while they were in their 50's due to cancer.

I am 65 and just started having some heart issues a few months back but with today's advances I am doing much better.

Have out lived everyone in my family except nieces and nephews.

I’m 69, today. I ran a couple miles this morn and do 4-5 times a week.
My dad died at 66 from cancers related to smoking. He had one cancerous lung removed in his early 50s.
His last few years were not very good.

My father lived to 92 and passed 6 months ago. At 63, I have a long ways to go. My mother at 88 is still going strong.

Not yet.

I have not, but if I do I'll count myself lucky. He's 81 and still going strong, even after a life of love for the whisky (He quit whisky and the pipe a few years ago) to make his new bride happy.

Oh, just for the record, she is 25 years his junior.

Hell! He may outlive me!

He aint dead, so I dont know how long I'd have to live. Dad's 93 and still going strong. He's got a brother that's 87 and he's doing well. I'm a measly 67.

Yes!

No sir, I am happy to say my father is still living. He'll be 73 this April, and doing well. At 47, I have no expectations of out-living him.

My Dad died at age 70 which was very young for the average in our family. I'm just a few years away from 70 so I'm hoping I missed that inheritance.

My dad is going to be 97 and outlived his sister brother and all his in laws, and one of my three brothers, beck he might outlive me.

My dad died at 61 of a heart attack. I had 6 way bypass at 60 or else I might not have passed him. Now 63 & still going.

Not yet.

Dad lived to 75 yrs and 11 months. He started smoking and drinking at 11 or 12 years of age - never gave up either.

Another 6 yrs and 11 months and I'll pass him.

Be 66 in May. That will be almost 12 years longer than my Father

Sorry for your loss. I know how it feels.

My father was an obese man that died in 1970 at age 33. He had several successive strokes, two heart attacks, commonly known today as metabolic syndrome. Once I made it to 40, I figured I was out of the woods. I am now 61 & feel confident. I weigh 240, he weighed 3X that.

Let you know after a while? I am trying, but that guy has an easy life now and he may beat me yet...

Dad's still got a few years on me. He retired at 62 and was dead in three months.

Yep, my Dad was killed in Vietnam when he was 25, and I was four months old at the time.

I'm twice his age now. All of his siblings have made it into their 70's.
