August 21, 1891

This was the day Emiliano Mercado del Toro was born. He died on Wednesday in Puerto Rico - he was 115 years old.
Man, can you believe this?
Wasn´t married, had no kids (but three girlfrinds :-)...)

Ingo´s Grandma always says, getting old isn´t fun.
But this article (german) I found states he always has been in a good mood and talked about positive and beautiful things.

He quit smoking at age 90. But he was dancing a lot and had heaps of milk :-)

He had said, you have to be "a good person" and then you easily live longer. Well... :-)

Since the 90´s his birthdays had been folk festivals, imagine that (I wouldn´t want to be so much in focus...).
Well. He died peacefully.
And I had never heard of him before...
