Who was the oldest person you knew?

I saw a post in r/Oldpeople asking about knowing people born in the 1800s. Being born in 1987, I knew of people born then, but can't say for sure if I actually met anyone. It got me thinking about the oldest person I actually knew and interacted with. His name was Maurice, and he was born in 1913. I worked at a lawn mower repair shop and he was a customer/frequent visitor who would often sit down for lunch with all of us. He was in his mid-90s at that point, and still mowed his own lawn with a Dixie Chopper. I found out that he lived in the same house he was born in, on a family farm that he took over and ran until he decided to retire at age 80 (!). He said his family got their first car in 1929 but didn't have indoor plumbing until 1939. He had a younger brother who served under General Patton in France during the war.

I often think about the fact that we have fewer and fewer people living in this world who can share their life experiences in pre-WWII era. It's strange to think that some day, not far off, they'll all be gone.

Do any other millennials have a similar experience with older generations?
