However, the old gent in the article was in a rural area of your own country (Canada), not urban Europe. The fact that he responsibly raised so many kids, and put most of them through college, is a good inspiration for the one or two posters here who still insist that this is impossible.
His rural location must of been exceptionally well suited to living a car-free lifestyle, with all the necessities of life very close by. Majority of rural areas that I know of are not like that. I've been to many different rural areas and none of them are suitable to living a car-free lifestyle...Nevertheless, I agree that this man is an inspiration, I mean living to be 100 and still healthy is a great accomplishment and requires making good positive lifestyle choices.
