  • Henry Allingham, the world's oldest man, who shares the same birthday with George Francis, died yesterday (July 18, 2009), nearly 7 months after George Francis passed.

  • sadly he has just died b ut he lasted well!

  • Yes, I just heard the news today from his Granddaughter. He died yesterday, December 27, 2008. May he rest in peace.

  • wow he does not look 112 at all!! that is so awesome!!

  • He was 106 when I took these videos, so of course he looks older now. But like you, I was amazed at how young he looked, and how he was able to scarf down beef ribs. Thanks for your comment.

  • That's my great grandpa. His birthday was yesterday.

  • Are you having a party for him today? I saw Althea (his daughter in this movie) last week and she mentioned that they would be up in Sacramento today (the 7th).

  • He must have seen a hell of alot in his life

  • God Bless Him and his decendants. The many stories in his life must be very fascinating to hear. When I say my prayers, I give thanks to all Ancestors who paved the way for me if they were slaves or not. It's also great to see that he has such respectful and loving offspring.

  • That is too dope!

  • @blangear,Since he was black,he experienced the Jim Crow laws throughout his youth and I wouldn't be surprised of he saw someone he loved or cared about got lynched by an angry white mob.

  • @jinkasima,That's because blacks don't wrinkle as much as whites do.

  • @pie5797 At the end of this short clip he is finishing his second helping of beef ribs. I asked, "isn't he worried about his cholesterol?":) He had great genes.

  • @marksjohnson5 lol when he first got into the hospital he was pissed off cuz the food wasnt like the food at home. Everytime he came to family get togethers he would eat as much as he could. :D

  • ITS POP!!! im his great great grandson!!! thats crazy!!!!!!!! 24k+ views!!

  • He's very healthy for his age

  • Well, the record for the man to have lived the longest in the bible was Methusala and he was well over 900 years old. It's true!

  • Thanks for sharing your thoughts on black people.

  • black people age well
