John’s family expressed their pride in him, highlighting his role as a beloved father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend. They thanked the staff at the Hollies care home for their exceptional care of John. It was recently verified that John has become the oldest living man in the world by LongeviQuest, a global directory on longevity. Dr. Andrew Holmes, co-founder of the European Supercentenarian Organisation, commended John on his incredible achievement of reaching such an age and becoming the oldest living man in the world.
On the other hand, Maria Morena from Spain holds the title of the world’s oldest living person at 117 years old. Despite this recognition, John’s family remained modest about his new title and attributed his longevity to his resilience, love for life, good humour and survival instinct. The validation from LongeviQuest and the European Supercentenarian Organisation only solidified their gratitude for having such an exceptional individual in their lives.
