A 99-year-old New York man walks six miles
a day to visit his wife of 55 years in the hospital.
Luther Younger lives in the city of Rochester
and is known for being strong and independent.
He even runs for part of the three miles each
way from his home to Strong Memorial Hospital.
Younger's wife Waverlee is paralyzed and
has suffered from brain cancer since 2009.
“She’s the best cup of tea I ever had,” he said.
He credits her with helping him through life. “If it
hadn't been for my wife, I wouldn't have made it."
People recognize him while driving by and will
offer him rides but he always declines.
"People tell me to act my age—yeah, right,”
he said. “They're jealous…
“because I don't drink, I don't smoke, because
it's no good. I wouldn't be here [if I did].”
