“For nearly nine months, John Alfred Tinniswood held the title of world’s oldest man, marking his 112th birthday during his reign. His record-holding status ended Monday when Tinniswood died in a care home in northwest England near Liverpool, where he was born on Aug. 26, 1912, his family said in a statement. Tinniswood attributed his longevity to ‘pure luck.’ … Tinniswood was born a few months after the sinking of the Titanic. He lived through two world wars and served in the British Army Pay Corps in World War II. Tinniswood was 111 this spring when he claimed the record after Juan Vicente Perez, of Venezuela, died at 114.” (11/26/24)
