(wish I still had it🤷♂️) Do you think Marv ever uses the phrase "come on guys, I'm not 93 anymore!" when someone offers him a beer or asks him to stay up past 10pm? 1 1 Quote

ChevyVanMiller Posted August 3 Posted August 3 My post from one year ago: Happy 101st, Marv! In honor of his 100th birthday, I want to share my experience with Marv Levy. Back in 2003, I wrote the local best-selling book Buffalo Soul Lifters and was doing a lot of appearances at local bookstores for autograph signings. It was the same year that Marv’s autobiography came out and was the talk of the town all over Western New York. I was scheduled to do a signing at the bookstore in the old Main Place Mall one Saturday from 1 to 3 PM. A couple of days prior, I was reading the sports section of the Buffalo News (remember when we used to read hardcopy newspapers?) and it said that they had Marv scheduled at the exact same time as me. I called my publisher and asked him to look into it. He got back to me and said that they forgot that they had me scheduled, and they had jumped at the chance to get Marv. He said that I was still welcome to come if I so chose. I asked him what he thought I should do? I didn’t want to show up and look like a mook just sitting there across from Marv. The publisher told me that I could do what I would like, but at least I knew if I went that there would be lots of people there. I decided to go. When I showed up at the mall that day there was a scene unfolding that I was not prepared for. There had to be at least 3,000 people in the mall creating a snake line that went from one end of the mall and back three times over. The thing was, Marv’s publisher had greatly underestimated the public desire for his book and hadn’t published enough copies. If people had not pre-ordered, the bookstore had none to sell them that day. People began coming up to me and asking me how they could get Marv’s book? I told them that there were none available. No one was asking me about my book. Then I had a brainstorm. I took a copy of my book and I autographed it and put in a personalized note to Marv. I walked over and introduced myself to Marv and his lovely wife Frannie. I explained to him that my book was sort of like the Chicken Soup For The Soul, Western New York edition. I also explained to him that one of the chapters detailed an interview I had done with Jim and Jill Kelly concerning their son Hunter’s brave battle with Krabbé disease. I told Marv that I did not want him to be the only one leaving that day without a signed copy of a book. I also told him that obviously all of these people had shown up to see me but I would try to push a few his way. 😀 He and Frannie had a good laugh and they couldn’t have been kinder. As the day went on people continued to come to me to ask me how they could get Marv’s book. I told them that there was no chance, but they could leave with a signed copy of the book that Marv was currently reading, Buffalo Soul Lifters. Then I would motion over to the Hall of Fame coach and they would see that indeed, Marv had a copy of my book right in front of him. The bookstore had 120 copies of my book at the beginning of the signing and none were left at the end. Marv did pretty well himself that day. 😀 It’s a memory that I will always cherish and I can tell you firsthand that Marv is truly the wise, articulate and gracious man that you see on television. Happy birthday, coach. Here’s to the next 100. Edited August 3, 2025 by ChevyVanMiller 4 1 Quote

That's crazy, so out of the 4.17 billion men in the world, about 1.25 million of them will live to 101? That seems too high to me. 2 Quote

Why? Seems about right to me. Remember that 4 billion includes teenagers. The one million men are not all 100 at the same time. Also remember there are a thousand millions in a Billion. 1 Quote

I’m sure some numbers are just wild estimates also, especially when you’re not just talking about the states. There’s huge parts of the world where people don’t even know how old they really are, and neither does any formal entity. Quote
