I admire his spirit. 102 years old and “the best is yet to come”. Remarkable. I’ll never reach that age (and that’s a good thing) but when it looks like it’s near the end I may just try skydiving. Why? Because it’s there.
The last song sung in concert by Frank Sinatra was “The Best Is Yet To Come.”
Died May 14, 1998 at age 82. RIP.
But hold the bris!
Well, Buddy Sorrell got his in middle age.
What a great attitude he has.
Thanks for posting.
Isn’t a bar mitzvah traditionally celebrated at 113?
Ma’zel T’ov Mr. Terens.
Thank you for my freedom.
