My Grandpa, Erwin Sonderegger, turned 100 years old on 06.06.13. From what I've heard, only 1 in 100,000 people make it to 100. Out of the 7.8 billion people in the world, there are only about 316,600 in the world over 100 — or just .004% of the population. Happy birthday grandpa!

Erwin Sonderegger, was born on June 6, 1913. On June 6, 2013 we had a party for him where he lived at Parkside Retirement Community, you can view that footage here: [ Ссылка ]

Erwin passed away on March 30, 2016 at the age of 102, just 3 months short of 103. Here is his eulogy: [ Ссылка ]

Before he passed, my brother and I would visit with him and he'd tell us stories. After one of those moments I told my brother we should video tape it without him knowing, so that way he would talk to us to just as he normally did and not be worried about it being filmed. So we did it. We asked him to tell us the story of how he met and married his wife Mary. Here's the link if you wanna watch: [ Ссылка ]
