I turn 60 this year. I’m pretty damn fit. I live in a city and I don’t own a car so I walk everywhere and I have a pretty physical job. I don’t feel 60. I barely feel 40.
I’m 77 and as unfit as it comes but I still ride motorcycle as I have for 60 years…my dad made it to 95 still driving legally and sharp as a tack.
My mom made it to 95 as a happy vegetable from a mental standpoint …didn’t know anyone but got along with everyone. Could still play piano and finally died in her sleep with nothing wrong other than old age. If anyone knows the poem The One Hoss Shay - it’s bang on for both of my parents.
Both lived in the house Dad built in the 30s - married for 74 years.
Only mom went into care which she thought was “retirement village” when dad passed.
I’ve got the genes ( as does my partner ) for a long life.
Senescence is creeping in, forgetting things, struggling to remember etc but we keep very mentally active with puzzles and reading.
Up until the last week it seems the Hackmans were doing very well managing wealth, fame, aging and community involvement until a mouse or two left its droppings in an unfortunate spot. 
My father was riding his motorcycle at 85, in good health, then someone took his eyes off the road and plowed into him.
that sucks - was he okay?
Never read the book “For Who the Fred Stolle’s”? You’re missing out.
Gene died at 95…
…which makes it even more incredible!
That’s also the title of my favorite Metallica song.
Not sure why you would say that. He apparently did not go into whatever place it was she was exposed, or if he did, was not doing whatever thing resulted in her exposure (which typically involves making airborne dust happen). Hantavirus is not human-to-human transmissible, and I would guess that they were probably not frequently engaging in the kind of intimacy that transmits bugs anyway. Also, as has been noted in this thread (or one of its progenitors), people that age have had quite a lot of practice at not dying.
Just remarking on her amazing ability to have him riding a bicycle after he was dead, not to mention his incredible stamina.
One of the early reports had him at 98…so at 95 he had the same lifespan as my dad. Dad tho was was sharp and still driving at 95.
Never took a drink in his life and still sharp enough during his final heart attack to make sure the nurses held to the DNR.
I once had a professor named Fred Stoll. No, really. He was on the math faculty at University of South Carolina. That was >30 years ago, though.
age 22??? 
Interestingly, he played Jan Smuts, in the movie Gandhi.
I guess if you die of a genetic disorder your battle with it would be “lifelong” no matter what.
Not necessarily. Huntington’s disease often shows no symptoms for a long time, until it does and you die a horrible death.
Signs and symptoms of Huntington’s disease most commonly become noticeable between the ages of 30 and 50 years, but they can begin at any age
That’s too bad. “Feels Good” and “If I Had No Loot” were fire.
Radio legend Bob Rivers dead at age 68.
