My grandfather died at 93, and looked as young if not younger than people 20 years younger than him, before he died (not so much after).

My grandmother died at 75 from a heart attack, but she has 2 sisters still alive, one 91 and one 96. Her sister that was 1 year younger than her, just died 2 years ago, she was a few months short of 100.

On my dads side, he never knew his dad or anything about him, but my grandmother died at 99. My dad, who was always sickly, just passed away at 75.

So I look at my family tree and figure I've got a pretty good chance of irritating people for another 40 or 50 years.

My grand grandma used was 98 when she died. Before that she would push the other people in the nursing home around in their wheelchairs. She said she felt so sorry for these “old people” (they were about 30-40 years younger than her.
I tell my children one of my bucket list goals is to live to 101, because I want to dance at my 100th birthday. So, I have 65 more years of annoying people. :) Or, that was the plan. Last year, my birthday was so horrible that I have decided to have no more birthdays. That will make me 36 forever. Yay!
