Guinness World
Records can announce 111-year-old Dr.
Alexander Imich of New York City, as the new oldest living man.
Dr. Imich was born in in present-day Częstochowa, Poland which was then part of the Russian Empire, on
February 4th, 1903. In 1951, he and his wife, Wela, immigrated to the United
States from the Soviet Union and Imich has lived in Manhattan alone since she
passed away in 1986.
Dr. Imich is a parapsychologist and retired chemist.
While his own longevity has surprised even himself, he
credits his life to good genes and an overall moderate, healthy lifestyle by
which he has eaten very leanly his entire life. His passion and curiosity about
parapsychology shaped his motto, which is that one should “always pursue what
one loves and is passionate about”
The latest record was
verified on the heels of the recent passing of Arturo Licta of Italy, who
passed away on April 24th aged 111 years and 357 days.
