RIP 112 yr Old Whiskey Drinkin WWII Vet Richard Overton

[Larry Grover]

Up late watching Fox news and they said this guy credited his old age to smoking cigars & drinking whiskey...my kind of guy! Turns out when he was 109 National Geographic did a profile on him...

Some classic quotes from that clip:

"Sometimes I drink 4 cups of coffee in the morning. This morning I drank about that much whiskey."

"I drive myself because everyone else drives crazy!"

"I like ice cream because it makes me happy"

"(GOD)...I aint talked to him and he aint talked to me"

Looking at his war & life experience this dude was all man & hero...big loss here.

Unfortunately, haveing the title Oldest Man, (or woman), normally doesn't last too long.

[CaptainMike]

An interesting man, for sure. He had a lot of wisdom, as many of that generation have. RIP Sir.

Richard Overton was an amazing man. If I didn't already drink whiskey and smoke cigars, he would have inspired me to do so :-)

Rest in Peace my brother in arms

Go Easy, Brother...
