The Great Joe Rollino, capable of bending a quarter with his thumb at 103, has passed away.
The article is great. An important detail is that he was a member of the Association of Oldetime Barbell and Strongmen. I think my brothers should investigate becoming members.
He died because he was jaywalking. How did such a risk-taker get to be 104?
He swam in the Atlantic off Coney Island in the winter - when he was 69!
Too bad I only learned about him after he was dead.
