This guy lived to be 103. He was my great grandfather, Parker Ray. He hailed from Jacksonville, TX. He was my mom's mom's dad.
I don't know the exact date he passed but it was some time in 2007.
One time my dad was with him and Grandpa Ray said to him, "I don't know whats wrong with me". My dad asked him what he meant and he told dad, "I should be dead by now." He wasn't in bad health or anything like that. He just thought that he should be dead by that age. It was a bit after his 100th birthday that he said that.
For me to live to be 100 I would have to live another 71 years. That seems like forever.
