R.I.P. Joe Rollino. Dead at 104. Former strongman, hit by van

[MrMatt]

NY Times Article. Apparently he was hit by a van.

Wiki article on who he was




104 years old...not something you see too often with former strongmen or athletes of any type. And to die after being hit by a van....just crazy. RIP

Wow, cool read. Decorated veteran too.

Interesting. I wonder how he would have done with a solid lifting program and drugs, probably very well, but definitely wouldn't have made it to 104 years of age. Didn't look haggard in that 103 years old pic. I wonder how lucid he was? 100 years is a long long time to live.

R.I.P. Hit by a van...really...that's crazy. At least he got to live a long, eventful life.

If I make it past 100 that's the way I want to go.
