3. Mazaltof!

You are blessed with amazing parents. What an amazing life your father has experienced.
He is an inspiration to us all.

4. What a blessing

I'm sure it's the herring and salmon patties that have kept him going ... and what seems, from the article, to be his wonderful spirit.

I still miss him.

8. I love reading about 100 birthday celebrations

They always make for a great read, and your father's is no exception.

Here's to your father! :toast:

12. Congrats to your dad

Sounds like you might have yourself some good genes, David.

13. I chose my parents well, as the old joke goes.

14. I just realized that I put this in the wrong place

Meant to put it in General Discussion. Duh.

15. He sure doesn't look his age! What a guy!

I know you must be proud of him and his accomplishments. My mom turned 93 in January; she's sworn to hit the 100 mark, just to be "up there" with George Burns!!

16. Great story - thanks for posting.

What an interesting life. I hope you have been following him around with a video cam.

My Dad is 93 and doing well. My Mother died recently. They were married 67 happy years. As long as our parents are alive we still get to be children. I am the youngest child and will soon be on Medicare. I recently reminded my Dad of that fact and I thought he would say it made him feel old. Instead he said to me - God you are getting old.

BTW, will Willard Scott be giving your Dad a shout-out?

17. Really cool! I'd love to live to 100.... glad your father made it.

He's seen so much history that most of us only read about.

[applegrove]

18. He's definitely a cutiepie for 100.

19. Very Cool!

Love it!

20. Mazel tov! May he have as much enjoyment out of the rest of his life as he seems to have had so far!

Incredible DNA, if I may say so. I hope you and yours are blessed to have inherited it from him. :toast:

21. Wonderful!

Happy Birthday Rabbi!

What a lot of history you father has lived! I hope you, and yours joy during this special time.






My father will be 89 tomorrow, and I am so very grateful for that. I live next door to him, and am in the process of moving in to his house to care for him better. He still teaches me something new every day.
