Frances is 92 years old and comes to our YMCA 5 days a week, he is full of vim, vigor and vitality and his humor keeps us all rolling on the floor with laughter. He is Good for the soul and in another life should have been a stand up comic.
I asked if I could bring my camera the next day and take a few photos, and he said Yes, but i want to stand by this and walked over to our Army Strong food collection soldier. I said be sure to wear a nice T-shirt, he has dozens that entertain us. Today he came in with of all things His ARMY shirt, he used to be in the army.
Bob said Will you sign it? Frances replied with "only if it is in the ladies restroom". by this time we were all howling with laughter as was he. there was more that I can't remember, like Bob said, well maybe just a urinal with a sign over it.

A lovely character portrait. He is wonderful for his age. I wonder what his secret is. How nice of him to pose for you.
What an awesome old fella! I bet all his humor has brought him this far in life!
I'd love to know his story. That's why I love older people. They all have a most interesting story to tell about their lives.
What an inspiration!!!

I love meeting new people through other blogs. He sounds like a hoot and so glad he's going strong. Loved the toilet seat line.
I think I'd like to introduce him to my 91-year-old mom.
What a great post, Sandra. And I think Kathy does need to introduce him to her mom. lol
What a wonderful sense of humor!
He sounds like quite the character and a lot of fun to be around.
What a character...you can see the spark in his eyes. :) Are you going to make him a sign ?
You know what - I think that is great to be 92 and that active - did he give you any secrets? Did you know Billy Graham is going to be 94. Sandie
What a delightful gentleman!!! More power to him.
Nice ones. I hope when I'm 92 I can still wear my Army T-shirt and keep people laughing (with me not at me).
Thanks for sharing. Francis sounds and looks like a great guy. Someone young at heart like this must be good to have around.
