I think the article says it all.

Part of me was hoping to read that he was killed by a volley of German artillery.

…or at least run over by a Volkswagen.

I salute him!

We were talking about old Frank in my shop when he turned 110. A lot of us (myself included) were hoping he’d make it to his eleventy-first, so we could say Bilbo survived WWI.

All joking aside, men like him are the reason any of us are able to discuss on message boards such as these, or in public about anything we want. They deserve the utmost respect, IMO.

God bless the man! 110?! That’s insane.
