Overton moved into the house, now on a street named after him, in 1946, and still spends his days on his front porch, smoking cigars and drinking whiskey.

 

That pretty much blows all of the healthy lifestyle mantra all to hell. All that's missing is a juicy steak.

Happy Birthday!!!!    I'll happily drink a Guinness to toast!

Even this guy wouldn't get some of AO's obscure references.

Happy Bday to him.

Shaking his head he would say, Before my time, man, before my time.

Some a**hole got a hold of his identity and drained his bank account on Friday.

When they catch the son of a bitch he deserves a 112 year prison sentence.

My grandfather smoked a pipe for his entire life. He lived to be 100, and he didn't die of cancer.

George Burns smoked cigars for his entire life, same story.

So that makes three people.

Rumor has it that Richard invented the phrase "kicking ass and taking names"

I left a few bucks for the gofund me. People are assholes.

His very long life has come to an end.

Rest in peace, Mr. Overton.

Why does FS hate old veterans? 

[fan_since79]

Lots of cheap jokes at my expense.

But I don't care, it's all in fun. Overton had a great sense of humor and kidded around with people. Secret of longevity. Or was it the cigars and whiskey?
