108-Year-Old Centenarian Meets His Great-Great-Grandson

A born and bred Canadian citizen, Mr. Esmond Allcock is 108-years-old and he was declared to be the oldest man in Canada. He lives in a care home but he is still quick-witted, talkative, and communicative. He has six children, 17 grandchildren, 12 great-great-grandchildren and 36 great-grandchildren. But over the years, none of his 71 descendants have been named after him – until now when his great-granddaughter Jenna Lehne named her second child after him.Show more
