  • Fred Harold Hale, Sr. (December 1, 1890 — November 19, 2004) was an American supercentenarian who became the oldest recognized verified living man in the United States following the death of countryman John Ingram McMorran in February 2003 and the oldest living recognized man in the world following the death of Spaniard Joan Riudavets in March 2004. There were only forty-three stars on the American flag when he was born in Maine.A retired railroad postal worker and beekeeper, Fred married Flora Mooers in 1910, the year their first child was born. Recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest licensed driver at age 108 he was still living by himself at age 103. At age 109, he moved to Liverpool, New York to be near his youngest son. Fred moved again to nearby Baldwinsville. At age 113, he played cards, and, after cataract operations at ages 109 and 110, still had unusually good vision for a supercentenarian.In 2004, Fred and his son moved to another Onondaga County community, Jamesville, within the town boundaries of De Witt, New York. Around then, he received media attention for being the world's oldest Boston Red Sox fan, with the team destined to win its first World Series in 86 years. Fred was 27 the last time the Sox won a World Series, in 1918.He traveled more extensively after his 95th year than many people do in a lifetime. Fred visited his grandson in Japan, stopping by Hawaii on the return trip, where he tried surfing. After turning 100, he visited Europe with his oldest son and daughter-in-law to visit the locales of his son's military service during the Second World War. Fred had a large family, spread out over the entire country. He outlived his wife and three of his five children. Of five children, two were still living at the time of his death, but Norman died on December 30, 2004, which is only a month after him. Three children had preceded Fred in death (Robert died in 1918 during the influenza epidemic, Muriel probably in 1971 and Carrie in 1992). At the time of his death he had nine grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and 11 great-great grandchildren. Fred was the oldest retired railway postal worker ever, the oldest retired U.S. government employee ever and the oldest registered beekeeper ever, among other honors and records. He often related the true story of his last successful deer hunt at age 100 in Missouri. Fred credited his longevity to bee pollen and honey he ate each day, along with the occasional nip of whiskey.He died of pneumonia in his room a mere 12 days before his 114th birthday in New York.He is the person closest to reaching his 114th birthday, without actually doing so.

  • Fred Hale (né le 1 décembre 1890 et décédé le 19 novembre 2004 à Syracuse dans l'État de New York aux États-Unis), était le doyen de l'humanité depuis le 5 mars 2004. Fred Hale se remettait d'une pneumonie, quand il s'est éteint dans son sommeil. Cet ancien employé des services postaux ferroviaires et apiculteur avait pris sa retraite en 1954. Il se consacrait depuis au jardinage et à la cuisine. A 95 ans, Fred Hale s'était rendu au Japon pour voir un de ses neuf petit-enfants, engagé dans la Marine. À 103 ans, Hale vivait encore chez lui, enlevant à la pelle la neige qui s'accumulait sur son toit. Et il s'agaçait encore, à 108 ans, des conducteurs qui lambinent au volant. Fred Hale a vécu jusqu'à l'âge de 109 ans dans son Maine natal, avant de déménager dans la région de Syracuse pour se rapprocher de son fils Fred Jr, aujourd'hui âgé de 82 ans.

  • Fred Harold Hale, senior (ur. 1 grudnia 1890 w New Sharon, Maine, zm. 19 listopada 2004 w Syracuse, Nowy Jork), Amerykanin, uważany za najstarszego mężczyznę na świecie w 2004. Pracował na poczcie. W 1910 poślubił Florę Moers, z którą miał pięcioro dzieci. Przeszedł na emeryturę w 1954. Wykazywał się sporą sprawnością do późnego wieku - do 103. roku życia mieszkał sam, a w wieku 104 lat odnowił prawo jazdy i prowadził samochód aż do 2000 . W ostatnich latach życia zamieszkał u syna, Freda juniora. Do jego ulubionych zajęć zaliczała się praca w ogródku oraz pszczelarstwo. Krótko przed śmiercią doczekał się ponownego sukcesu ulubionej drużyny baseballowej Boston Red Sox w prestiżowych rozgrywkach World Series; poprzedni taki sukces miał miejsce w 1918.Po śmierci Johna Ingrama uchodził za najstarszego mężczyznę w USA. Od 5 marca 2004 był także uznawany przez Księgę Guinessa za najstarszego mężczyznę na świecie . W chwili śmierci - krótko przed ukończeniem 114. roku życia - w gronie najstarszych osób na świecie zajmował siódmą pozycję, za sześcioma kobietami . Po śmierci Hale'a tytuł najstarszego żyjącego mężczyzny przeszedł na Portorykańczyka Emiliano Mercado del Toro, chociaż początkowo uważano, że najstarszy jest Niemiec Hermann Dörnemann. Należy zaznaczyć, że wspomniane osoby nie muszą być faktycznie najstarszymi na świecie; są najstarszymi z grona tych, których data urodzenia jest odpowiednio udokumentowana i nie budzi wątpliwości.

Halella oli kaihileikkauksen jälkeen varsin hyvä näkö vielä 110-vuotiaana, ja 113-vuotiaana hän pelasi vielä kortteja. Hän sai julkisuutta myös "iäkkäimpänä Boston Red Sox -fanina". Hale matkusteli vielä vanhoilla päivillään. Hän kävi Japanissa, kokeili surffausta Havaijilla ja vieraili 100-vuotiaaksi tultuaan Euroopassa. Hän sai elämänsä aikana kaikkiaan viisi lasta. Hale menehtyi keuhkokuumeeseen vähän ennen kuin olisi täyttänyt 114 vuotta. Tämän jälkeen maailman vanhimman miehen titteli siirtyi Emiliano Mercado del Torolle. (fi)
  • Vi erano solo quarantatré stelle sulla bandiera americana quando Hale nacque; nel Maine, l'1 dicembre 1890. Del presente stato egli detiene il record assoluto di longevità machile. Fred, che era un apicoltore e un impiegato alle ferrovie postali, sposò Flora Mooers nel 1910, lo stesso anno nel quale nacque il suo primo figlio. Visse in casa fino ai centotre anni. Quando ne ebbe compiuti centonove andò a Liverpool, New York dove risiedeva il suo figlio più giovane. Fred andò anche a Baldwinsville dove si sposò nuovamente. All'età di centonove e centodieci anni subì alcune operazioni per la cataratta e continuò ad avere una vista insolitamente buona per un supercentenario. Giocava a carte anche dopo il suo 113esimo compleanno. Nel 2004, Fred e suo figlio si trasferirono di nuovo a Onondaga County, Jamesville, entro i confini della città De Witt, New York. Attorno a quel periodo egli ha ricevuto l'attenzione dei media che lo proclamarono più longevo fan dei Boston Red Sox. L'ultina volta che la squadra ha vinto, nel 1918 Fred aveva 27 anni. Hale viaggiò moltissimo anche dopo aver compiuto i novantacinque anni. Oltre alle molte migrazioni all'interno del suo paese, visitò un nipote in Giappone, si fermò nelle Hawaii e dopo i cento anni visito l'Europa con suo figlio più grande (Norman Dyer Hale) e la sua nuora, per visitare i locali del servizio militare del figlio durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale. In vita Fred ebbe cinque figli ma solo due erano ancora vivi quando lui morì: Norman Dyer e Fred Hale Hale, Jr ma Norman è morto a sua volta il 29 dicembre 2004, ad un solo mese di distanza dal padre. Gli altri tre figli, morti prima di lui erano Robert, che morì nel 1918 durante l'epidemia di influenza, Muriel che probabilmente spirò nel 1971 e Carrie nel 1992. Fred Sr. aveva nove nipoti, nove figli di nipoti undici nipoti di nipoti. Morì a causa di una polmonite dodici giorni prima del suo centoquattordicesimo compleanno in una stanza d'ospedale a New York . Fu la persona più longeva ad avvicinarsi ai 114 anni senza però comperli . (it)
