Sean 6,309 Posted July 3, 2017 His mind is incredible still but the body is clearly failing.He is a good colour and doesn`t sound raspy so he may last a while (few months). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,963 Posted July 3, 2017 Interesting... not sure he'll die this year. His hands aren't shaking. The wheelchair isn't unusual at that age. But obviously his lungs are failing. How long can they last? Will be interesting to see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Digger 1 Posted September 10, 2017 Still alive and kicking, well into his 103rd year. Everyone in his family has croaked, so it definitely looks like Lucky Herman was first in the queue when the DNA was handed out. Good for him, I say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Technically, "into his 103rd year" means that he's past his 102nd birthday, since the period between birth and the first birthday is a person's "1st year" (there is no 0th year, just like there was no year between 1 BC and 1 AD, and 1900 was the last year of the 19th century). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bentrovato 1,084 Posted December 4, 2017 About a third of the way through his book Don't Stop the Carnival. Never had an author die while reading their work. It would be novel if he did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kirk is incredibly sprightly for his age! Whilst I would not bet the house on it I would not be shocked if he made it through this year and ended up living until about 103 or so!

It's reassuring to have somebody you've known your entire life (doesn't matter that you've never met them personally) still alive and well at 90+. For me it's Queen Elizabeth. There's just something comforting about her still walking on this earth. Sometimes it's nice pretending it will always stay the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's just something comforting about her still walking on this earth. Sometimes it's nice pretending it will always stay the same. As a movie buff, I felt the same way about Manoel de Oliveira. He always seemed so "eternal", and for as long as he continued to live, he seemed to defy the notion that people eventually die... Also, the fact that he was still making movies at 106 made him look not human. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
