My grandfather smoked a box of cigars per week and drank a fifth of "Old Granddad" whiskey every two weeks of his adult life. He loved his bacon and eggs breakfasts, too, and steaks and pork chops and ham for dinners. He died in 1967, after his 7th stroke in 10 years. He also had a full head of thick white hair and rode a bus 35 miles to work and back, 6 days a week. He was a locksmith who also sharpened things like knives, shears, saw blades, etc, until he passed on at the age of 93. Lincoln had been assassinated only 9 years before Grampa was born and he was alive for nearly half of the existence of the US since the Declaration of Independence when he died.

As the old Ford truck commercial used to say, "He was a tough old bird." I loved that tough old bird.
