Ukraine’s long-living man, a resident of the Lvov region, Grigory Nestor, died on Sunday in his 117th year, the head of the village administration has said.Nestor lived in the village of Stary Yarychiv at his grand niece. Several days before his death he did not even complain of health problems.
“Nothing aches all over. Only eyes begin to see poorly and I feel shivery a bit,” Nestor said.
For a long while he worked as a shepherd in his village. Nestor was an inveterate bachelor and lived his last years at his sister’s daughter.
In reply to the question about recipes of long-living he said with a smile “I had never been married and did not undermine my nervous system on the family front.” He said he was a lover of women for all his life, but things did not come around as they were expected to.
Nestor liked to sing different songs, not only in Ukrainian, but also in Russian, German and Polish. He said he learnt these songs during the two world wars that raged across the western Ukrainian village.
He said he had never had heavy diseases, used no medicines and did not abuse alcohol.
Authors of Ukraine’s book of records recognized Grigory Nestor as the country’s oldest man and promised him to put his name in the Guinness Book of World Records, but he died before they fulfilled the promise.
Ukraine’s oldest man was born on March 15, 1891.
According to the Guinness World Records, the world’s oldest person was Emiliano Mercado del Toro from Puerto Rico, who died aged 115 on January 24. He became the world’s oldest person after 116-year-old Elizabeth Bolden died in Tennessee on December 11, 2006.
