My buddy Joe's granpa, Poppy we called him, lived well into his 90's, 99 IIRC.
Had tons of great stories, WW1, WW2, was a cop, was a fireman. We used to get a couple of 6's of beer and hang with him on Friday nights just listening to it all.
Man needed a cane to get around, (once beat up a pickpocket with it when he was like 95)
Joe had a few hotrods, one was a 65 Cuda.
The town had just finshed doing the blacktop on their street.
Joe comes home and his old man lays into him big time about doing a burnout and tearing up the blacktop in front of the house.
Joe was adamant that it was not him.
Poppy just sat in the corner and smiled.
Poppy admitted later that he needed to get to OTB to bet on a Pony and he missed the bus.
Think that was the year before he passed.
I think Pauls kinda like that.
