A 109-year-old man is still living independently and even drives his own car. “How do I feel? Let’s go out to a dance somewhere. How about that? That’s how I feel,” Vincent Dransfield said in an interview. So what are his tips for a healthy, long life?

Vincent spent more than 80 years serving as a member of the local volunteer fire department. When asked what brought him happiness and kept him going in life, he quickly answered: “The fire department...I met so many friends.” “After my grandmother passed away, that’s really what kept him going. Every day, he would go to the fire house from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., and all the old guys would sit there and hang out. That was like his family,” his granddaughter Erica Lista said.

Vincent never lifted weights at a gym. He never went for a run to exercise. But he stayed active. “I was 21 years old when I joined the fire department and that’s the exercise I got every day—answered the fire alarms,” he said. “I was active and ran out when the alarm went off for 40 years. Then for the next 40 years, I continued when I felt like it.” However, structured exercise amuses him. “He laughs at people who jog. He’s like, ‘Where are they running to?’” Erica said.

“What’s crazy is he was not careful about his diet,” Erica said. “He has eaten whatever he wants. He has never watched his weight. He’s never had to lose weight. He’s always been fit.” Vincent loves Italian food, hamburgers, salads, milk chocolate and other sweets. He drinks a cup of coffee every day and occasionally has a beer.

Vincent considers himself an optimist. “He always had such a positive upbeat attitude, even when my grandmother passed away,” Erica said. “I keep positive. I never think any other way when something’s wrong,” he said. “I’m doing fine and I hope the good Lord keeps me that way.”
