Rust in vrede / Rest in peace, Jan van Ierland. At least you made it to 111.
I think it will take a while for another Dutch male SC…
Rest in peace Mr Jan van Ierland.
Rust zacht, meneer Van Ierland.
Ik had stiekem de hoop dat u het Nederlandse record voor oudste man zou aanscherpen, maar helaas mocht het niet zo zijn. Niettemin, wat heeft u een fantastisch leven geleid, chapeau!
Overduidelijk misschien.
@marco Anch'io l'ho sperato, vista la sua forma fisica e mentale...lo avrebbe meritato...peccato 😥

He is the 11th oldest person in the history of the Netherlands, the 4th oldest man in the country's history (I'm considering John Huang here), the 23rd oldest person in the history of Benelux, and the 160th oldest man in history.
He is the 5th oldest person born in 1914 to die so far.
He died at the same age as:
