"He's not allowed to fix any more tractors because I'm tired of putting them back together again," she said with affection.

With all sincerity..."Good for you Johnny!"

What a role model for families today. They should make a movie of this man's life.

The life of a good man, summed up in 4 sentences:

Johnny Poirier, 96, still goes to work every day.
The two married in 1933 and moved several times before settling in Buffalo.
Family a top priority.
A highlight of his week is Sunday mornings after church when he and Mrs. Poirier, along with about 20 to 25 of their friends and family, meet at a downtown restaurant for breakfast and catching up.

God bless you, Mr. and Mrs. Poirier.

I knew a guy who ran a sawmill until he was 92. He used to take an ancient (model A or T ) Ford truck into the woods on his property, cut down a tree drag it out and mill it. This was in the early 80s. The guy had a Polish sounding name. He was about 5'4' and looked like a thick wire. He was invited to leave home when he was 10. He ended up working in a German arms factory. Being in his company was like being in a time machine.
