The family of the oldest living man in the world announced his passing on Tuesday.

At the Hollies Rest Home in Southport, on the west-central coast of England, John Alfred Tinniswood, 122, passed away on Monday.

According to Tinniswood’s relatives, he passed away surrounded by love and music. His great-grandchildren Tabitha, Callum, and Nieve, as well as his daughter Susan and grandchildren Annouchka, Marisa, Toby, and Rupert, survive him.

He was the great-grandfather of King Charles III and the grandfather of the late Queen Elizabeth II. He was born on August 26, 1912, to Ada and John Bernard Tinniswood, during the reign of King George V.

When he met Blodwen, his future wife, at a dance in Liverpool, he was a widower. Before she passed away in 1986, they were married in 1942 and stayed together for forty-four years.

According to his family, he possessed many admirable traits, including intelligence, bravery, decisiveness, composure under pressure, mathematical talent, and a wonderful communicator.There was love and music on his last day.

He claimed at his last birthday celebration, “I can’t think of any special secrets I have.” I used to walk a lot as a kid, so I was really active. But I don’t see myself as any different. There is absolutely no difference.

Tinniswood was six months old when Arizona became the 48th state in the union and just over four months old when the Titanic went down. He worked as a banker and during World War II was a member of the Royal Army Pays Corps.

After Juan Vicente Prez, 114, of Venezuela passed away in April, Tinniswood, at 111, was formally declared the oldest living man in the world by Guinness World Records.

On March 31, Gisaburo Sonobe, a Japanese man who was 112 years old, passed away. On September’s Respect for the Aged Day, Japan’s 116-year-old Tomiko Itooka was honored as the oldest living woman in the world.

Tinniswood attributed his longevity to sheer serendipity.

“You can’t do much about it, and you either live long or short,” he told Guinness in April. He had previously said that if you do too much of anything, you will eventually suffer, whether it be eating too much, drinking too much, or walking too much.
