According to the Guinness Book of Records, Juan Vicente Perez Mora is the oldest man alive. He was born on May 27 1909, and is now 113 years old. Born and raised in Venezuela, Juan Vicente is a man of deep faith. His secret for a long life is hard work, rest during the holidays, early to bed, and early to rise, a daily glass of aguardiente (strong liquor,) love towards God and make sure you carry Him with you always. He claims that the most important lesson he learned in his lifetime is the love of God, the love towards his family, and waking up early for work. For a while, he was the sheriff of his home town of Caricuena. He married his wife Ediofina Del Rosario Garcia and had 11 children. They were married for 60 years when she died. It’s interesting to note that the oldest woman is a nun from France, Sister Andre Randon who is 118 years old.
