There seems to be a discrepancy in the age of Al Lewis , the colorful character actor who just died recently. Some reports have him dying at the age of 95, while his son reports that he was just 82 at the time of his death. In the death notice in the Chicago Tribune of Sunday Feb. 5 , even the paper can’t seem to decide on when he was born. What gives ? Was Grandpa 95 , or 82? , or was he a vampire , so we may never really know?
Here’s the ‘obituary’ thread about him. This page on “Who’s Alive and Who’s Dead?” says he just lied about his age to get the part of Grandpa Munster. I think that’s the most plausible explanation - it sounds like no official birth record has been published yet. Sounds like he made up many details about his life.
