When the young commander of the guard declared his love for her, she rejected him simply because his frivolity startled her. "See how simple he is," she told Amaranta. "He says that he’s dying because of me, as if I were a bad case of colic."

Rest in peace Mr Sisler.
Looks like there was an error with the article and he may have passed away on 2 April.
Via a relative on Social Media, he actually died on 2 April. If people want to see it, I'll message privately (if Social Media posts aren't allowed on this forum)

Burdett Sisler, the oldest living man in Canada, passed away in Fort Erie, Ontario, on 2 April, at the age of 110 years, 353 days. His passing was first reported by CHCH.
Burdett Sisler was born in Akron, Ohio, USA, on 14 April 1915. Sisler came to Canada at the age of three and settled in what is now known as Etobicoke.
Sisler served in the Second World War. He first joined the armed forces in 1943, serving with the Legion Horse Artillery before transferring to the Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers unit, from which he was honorably discharged in 1946. After the war, he worked with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) at the Peace Bridge, dedicating nearly 30 years to the role. He and his family moved to Fort Erie in 1947. At the time, it was just the three of them—his wife, their daughter, and himself. They went on to have four more children in the years that followed. His five children were: Norm, Betti, Sharon, Lorraine, and Burdett. His wife Mae passed away in 1985.
On 12 February 2025, following the passing of 109-year-old Albert Middleton, he became the oldest living man in Canada, at the age of 109 years, 304 days.
