OakPark.com shared a great story about a man from Oak Park who will turn 105 this Sunday. Good genes must run in Paul Soderdahl's family, because another paper wrote a story about his father back in 1959 when he turned 100!
I loved reading the comments posted after the story. You can tell this man has inspired so many people throughout his 105 years and continues to do so. Take a look at what a few of the readers said:
His varied interests and sharp mind are an inspiration to all .... I look at all that we have derived by his being alive and in our hearts and lives over the years.-Judy Kern from Downers Grove
I lived next to Mr.Soderdahl growing up. He always remembered my birthday and I would get a card with money in it. Once I made him a birthday card, also with money in it, he found me later and presented me with a hand full of change, because the money I had given him had grown. -Michelle Martin Perez from Westchester
He would dutifully plow half the block's snow with his snowblower after every snowfall. This was when he was in his mid-70s! -Ken Black from Warrenville
