99- maternal grandmother. Most of the women on my Mom's side easily live into their 90's with good health. Also very few wrinkles or gray hair. I love the good genes.
My great uncle is going strong at 96- will be 97 in July. Lives in an apartment in Columbus. Gay as gay can be. Was in a concentration camp as a POW in Russia in WWII, captured on Xmas eve. I hope I get some of his healthy genes as everyone else in my family died in their 70s.
My great grandmother was 94. I’ve been wondering if the life expectancy of American women is lowering since we all (mostly) have to work and seemingly everything we eat is terrible and carcinogenic.
@teachermom---We just celebrated my dad's 91st birthday on Saturday. My dad is a Holocaust survivor who spent his childhood in concentration camps. His dad, a survivor of Auschwitz, died in his 80's. I figure that side of the family has some genetic magic going on. My brother still grouses about the fact that he has (significantly)less hair than my dad and has for years.
My paternal great-grandfather was 100 and...something? At least 103, but he might have been as old as 106. I have a few other relatives who made it to early/mid 90s.
My maternal great uncle at 101. He swindled my mother out of most of her rightful inheritance from my grandfather, who I never knew. My grandfather was a brilliant inventor, thus the uncle swindled me. Never knew this until I was 30 years old. Whenever I am visiting my grandfather's grave, I drink a bottle of water, go to the uncle's grave a few rows away, and have a long piss.
I believe in choosing our own Exit. When quality of life begins to fail. We don't get to choose our entrance to this horrible rock... but we can choose when to Leave.
Great-great grandfather on my dad's side lived to 109. Ate bacon every day. From Scotland, died in the USA.
And in contrast, my great-great grandfather on my mom's side died at 20 (lost at sea/overboard) along the coast of Ischia (island in Bay of Naples Italy) where they lived, leaving his wife 8 months pregnant behind. My great-grandfather was born a month later.
My maternal grandfather lived to be 106 ,still sharp minded.His dad lived to 82 and had a patent for each year he lived.He left millions when he died my great grand father but he had 2 sons and my grand fathers brother stole every dime.Ron ,my family had a bastard too !
