At "116 years young" he likes to put it, Albert is Guinness World Record's "Oldest Living Man". He loves spending time with his grandson (Justin Frost). He's still got a lot of life in him, and loves to have fun and find things as old (or older) than he is. Please upload photos of this Trackable with things that are "Ooooooold!".
