World’s Oldest Man, 112, Passes Away In England

John Alfred Tinniswood, born on August 26, 1912, in Liverpool, witnessed over a century of historical milestones, including two world wars and the sinking of the Titanic. He served in the British Army Pay Corps during World War II.

Secrets to Longevity

Tinniswood, a retired accountant, often said his long life was due to “pure luck.” He believed in moderation, avoiding smoking, rarely drinking, and sticking to a simple routine—his only indulgence being fish and chips every Friday.

A Humble Record Holder

At 111, Tinniswood became the world’s oldest man in April 2024 after the passing of Juan Vicente Pérez from Venezuela. Despite his title, he took his age in stride, saying, “I don’t feel that age.”

Legacy and Family

Tinniswood is survived by his daughter Susan, four grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. His wife, Blodwen, passed away in 1986 after 44 years of marriage.

Global Context

The world’s oldest living person is Tomiko Itooka from Japan, aged 116.
