Rest In Peace Deaths Of Note

[WolfBear]

If it's any consolation, my dad and I held out hope my grandfather (who lived to be 96) would make it to just plain 100, whereas this guy left us as a full-fledged supercentenarian! 😮

But yeah, sad to see him go, no matter how much nitpicking over age the demographers and we "young folk" like to preoccupy ourselves with. RIP, Mikizo Ueda.

Yeah, it's quite interesting: I had a great-uncle who lived to 95 and an in-law (this specific great-uncle's son's wife's father) who lived to age 100, but most of my relatives died in their 80s or earlier.

Here she is at age 97:

BTW, interesting fact, @Zyobot: Kyoto Prefecture has produced both a 116-year-old man (Jiroemon Kimura) and a 112-year-old man (Mikizo Ueda):

This is roughly as impressive as the small island of Puerto Rico, which has produced both a 115-year-old man (Emilio Mercado del Toro) and a 113-year-old man (Emilio Flores Marquez).

Hello everyone,
It is with sadness that we inform the community that we have learned that @Starbug has passed away. Members had expressed concern given how long he's been away from the forums and after speaking to sources we found an obituary for someone who matched the various information we had for Starbug. It appears he passed away on August 20th, 2021.
We hope that he had found peace.

Rest, weary traveler at the Shade of the Tree of Life, fellow SBer.

May he RIP. I looked forward to his retirement near the end of this year. I certainly didn't expect him to die beforehand.
