yeah, he was a real character.  He died in 1956, at 92, still active.
About 8 years after his death, I visited my grandmother, who was 88 at
the time.  I fixed a couple of things around the house that needed doing,
and she gave me lunch.  At lunch time she took out a water glass,
filled it half full of Canadian Club, and drank it down.  I stared in
horror at this,  waiting for her to drop dead or pass out.  She smiled and
said, "I was having trouble with my legs, and the young doctor,  such
a nice boy, said to lie down in the afternoon for an hour or so, and to have
a drink to relax me.  I remember your Grandfather having a drink and doing that.So I have been doing the same.  And I feel so much better!"

I might add that she died a year later, due to a fall from her porch, while
sweeping it.
