He’s been able to avoid major diseases and has a fit mind and body. “I’ve been very, very, very lucky in my lifetime,” he says.
At 110 years old, Vincent Dransfield still drives his car every day, getting coffee at the convenience store and buying lunch.
When Dransfield required an endoscopy recently for a swallowing problem, the medical staff was stunned he’d only had anesthesia once before in his entire life, Lista says. She noticed the anesthesiologist’s hands were shaking when he administered the medicine into a 110-year-old man.
When asked what brought him happiness and kept him going in life, he quickly answers: “The fire department. … I met so many friends.” As for Dransfield’s professional life, he worked for 60 years — most of that as an auto parts manager — before retiring in his late 70s: “I still wanted to work, but my wife said, it’s time for you to quit,” he recalls.Dransfield left school after 8th grade and went to work for a dairy farm at 15 to help support his family.
