I've met this gentleman many times over the years.  He always had a kind word and a joke.

Hat's off to the gentleman for the long life he had.  I, on the other hand, won't make it that long.  One of my doctors wonders why I am not dead yet.  He is chomping at the bit to do the autopsy.......chris3

I'm going to either live forever or die trying.

Even the great fall.

My buddy, who happens to be a mason, was pretty bummed out that this dude died.

Apparently he was the oldest mason as well.

That guy was pretty old to be laying block.

I think you mean pipe.  Bricks are stacked.

It always amazes me that people who lived through the Great Depression, Two World Wars (Hitler and Stalin), Korea, Vietnam, The Sixties riots, etc. seemed to be more optimistic, patient and forgiving than those of us who are outraged when the cable goes out, cell service drops for a moment, or gas goes up 25 cents.
