Poorly constructed phrase, but pretty sure he has been an ironworker for 60 of his 74 years.

Breathtaking video high above Chicago "October 2012 (WLS) -- These are some extraordinary video clips of the recent installation of the new ABC 7 antenna atop Willis Tower.
The amazing shots were taken by tiny cameras on the ironworker's helmets, the antenna sections themselves, and another helicopter. The video features Local 1 ironworkers John Rukavina and his nephew Bob East.
Director Stephen Brown and Zoo City Productions were filming the entire event for a documentary entitled "Cowboys of the Sky", which chronicles the journey of 74-year-old Local 1 ironworker John Rukavina..........."

In 1969, in honor of the return of Apollo 11, John Rukavina hung an American flag on the Hancock antenna.
