This is the second pandemic he has lived through.

With masks and face shields, it was a different kind of birthday celebration as Calgary veteran and oldest Southern Alberta Institute of Technology alumnus Clarence Hollingworth turned 106 years old Wednesday.

“No one expects to live to 106 years of age, and if anybody was going to do it, it was going to be my grandfather,” said Sheila McKillop.“He’s always said he was going to live to 111 and then renegotiate. I told him I’m way too young to be orphaned without a grandparent, so I’m holding him to it. “My grandfather has been a pillar of our life, and this is just such an honour to be able to celebrate such a special occasion with him and have — what we can in this odd time — as much of a celebration as possible.”Everybody wants to be around Hollingworth, his granddaughter said, and he’s one for teasing too.

“He just made sure that we always had fun but knew that we were loved 100 per cent, in all the ways, by him,” McKillop said.“I couldn’t have been blessed with a better grandfather.”
