Oldest Man in Canada is happy at the age of 108. The trick, according to him, is to pick a good wife.  CBC reported that Esmond Allcock celebrated his 108th birth day last Friday. He is oldest male in Canada, according to the Saskatchewan Health Authority.

“I didn’t behave myself for a few years there, but then I got a really good wife,” he said, when asked how he managed to live a long and happy life.

His wife Helen passed away seven years ago after 72 years of marriage. He lived alone in the family home for a short time and then decided to move into the Kerrobert Health Centre.

On Friday, employees at the center threw the 108-year-old a birthday party. “Oh they nearly drove me nuts. They probably took 100 pictures of me,” he said laughing.

The town’s Mayor Wayne Mock, also attended the party. He honoured the self-proclaimed Blue Jays baseball super-fan by declaring Jan. 26 as Esmond Allcock Day.

Although his son Dale Allcock, 78, couldn’t make it to the party from Port Coquitlam, B.C., the two Facetimed beforehand.‘He really is a gift. That’s about all we can call that.” says his son Dale Allcock, 

“We Facetime every day on his iPad and you can really tell how happy he is, and they treat him like gold in there,” he said.

Staff wrapped up the party with his favorite meal: steak, carrots and fruit

According to his son, Allcock has lived in Kerrobert, which is located about 200 kilometers southwest of Saskatoon, for 100 years and worked as a farmer before retiring in 1975.

He has 67 living relatives which includes 38 great grandchildren.

“He really is a gift. That’s about all we can call that,” said Dale.
