Salustiano Sanchez was born in 1901. He was born in Spain and moved to America in 1920 and married in 1934. Sanchez was a great grandfather when he died and and came in at a close second to the oldest person alive, the oldest being a 115 year old woman. He earned a spot in the Guinness book of world records as the oldest man. He just died on Friday.

I am sad to see a man with this accomplishment go! he seems to have lived a full life and must have seen many things. I am glad he got to share his story with the world.
