We just discovered that at 107, my father is the 43rd oldest man in the U.S! He takes no medication, no naps, does crossword puzzles 3-4 hrs a day, tells great stories, is as funny as ever, and every day has a Happy Hour. How crazy is that!? He’s a good, humble, decent man, and we love him dearly. His legacy is pictured on the wall behind us in this shot of us from a few months ago. Here’s to Robert C. Noonan, long may he reign! Bless his kind and giving heart! - Willie

I love this! God bless him!

But…no NAPS!?!! Seriously?! I’m 66 and naps are one of my favorite things! LOL!

Truly though, that is amazing.

Grant Tye

He looks great!

My mom is 102 , vodka toddy daily

David Sloan

Amazing! I’d be very curious what is behind his great shape at that age. Low stress? Diet? Exercise? Never stopped moving and thinking? Or mainly DNA?

PS say hi to Jon Weber for me

Bjørn Busk

Wow! He doesn’t look older than 70!

Massimo Meregalli

It's incredible, in that photo he looks like being 70, at most a man aged 80 in good condition! Fantastic.

Willie: I don’t know if you will ever read this but you are your father‘s son. You are, perversely, 100% rock ‘n’ roll and 100% an old-fashioned English gentleman I’ve never seen that combination in anyone else I have ever met.

Laura D'Angelo Gohn

I love this!!! I love hearing about your Dad when you perform, and when he picks up your late-night calls from the stage

Beth Gomez Foote

I’ll have what he’s having

Does he live with a girlfriend

in assisted living? Would love to know what he did for a living and where he grew up?

Ali Fragale

God bless! Clearly youthfulness runs in your family. The Apple does not fall far from the tree, my friend.

Maura McCabe

Bless your Da! Here’s hoping it’s true what they say about the apple and the tree.

He's a shining example of aging with vitality - 3-4 hours of crossword puzzles a day is impressive! His legacy is a blessing to his family and beyond.
