“He attributes his long life to eating only two meals a day – because ‘that’s all you need’ – working as long as you can, embracing change, helping others and of course, accepting death.”
“He said the last one was a lesson he learned from his grandfather, proclaiming: ‘We’re all going to die. Some people are scared of dying. Never be afraid to die. Because you’re born to die.‘”
“Walter’s earliest memories stretched back 111 years, before home entertainment came with a twist of the radio dial. They were of his grandfather’s tales of killing Southerners in the Civil War.”
“He recalls he was only three years old and was horrified: ‘I thought that was a hell of a thing to say.’”
