Unexpected.

R.I.P. Vincent Dransfield

Very sad news, but he appears to have lead a very active life up until the time of his passing.

Rest in peace Mr Dransfield.

Such a heartache to hear about his passing.

He had the potential to reach the heights of Breuning, Hale or McMorran – still, we'll remember him as one of the most exceptional supercentenarians ever.

Rest in peace, Vincent Dransfield.

He was the 54 oldest living person in the USA, 2 oldest living person in New Jersey, being the oldest man, does anyone know who his successor is as oldest man in the state?
He is the 120 oldest known man in US history
He stayed for 23 days as the oldest man in the country, it is the shortest time in history, since there is data (from 1951), before Antonio Pierro, who stayed 30 days between 9 Jan 2007 and 8 Feb 2007 was the oldest man in the country. who had the shortest time. He died at 110 years, 90 days, youngest since Oscar Dubois who died on June 25, 1989 at 109 years, 291 days.
