100. Paternal would be 98. Both were great men and even better grandpas (Papa, as I called them both). Lost them both in ‘09 about 60 days apart.
Pretty rough stretch……

Both my paternal & maternal were born in the 1880's.
My dad hardly knew his dad when his dad died, but I got to spend a bit if time around my mothers dad, 1888-1971.

He was born either 1899 or 1900. Served in WW-1 and had health issues the rest of his life from being gassed. He died in 1964 at age 64. I was 6 and never got to know him.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Probably 100. My dad's mother (aka granny) was born in 1910. She made it to 2008. Out lived her husband and son. She'd be 113.
They don't make'em like that anymore.

Jeebus you must be a bunch of old SOBs looking at some of these ages.
Mine would be 97.
Bornt September 11 1925.
Matter of fact my cousin just tore the house down 2 weeks ago that grandfather was born in.

Know fat, know flavor. No fat, no flavor.
I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.
