Cheryl: are you certain of the dates? This man would have been 115. If he was indeed, then check with Aldersgate retirement home or community in San Rafael. They had a resident that was the oldest man in the world, if I recall correctly, who died in the last few years. Enjoyed smoking cigars and there were newspaper articles about him in the Independent Journal. I do not recall his name. Hope this is your guy! Regards, Lauren Boyd
