Fred H. Hale, Sr.
Frederick "Fred" Harold Hale, Sr. (December 1, 1890 – November 19, 2004) was an American supercentenarian. After the death of John Ingram McMorran in February 2003, at the age of 112 years, Hale was recognized as the oldest living man in the United States. In March 2004, at 113, he became the oldest living man in the world, following the death of the Spaniard Joan Riudavets. Hale is verified to be one of the ten oldest men in recorded history, as well as the oldest recorded person born in the state of Maine.
==Biography==
Fred Hale was born in New Sharon, Maine, on December 1, 1890. His parents, Fred and Nettie, both lived to be 91. In 1910, he married Flora Mooers and later in the same year they had their first child. Hale spent his career as a railroad postal worker and a beekeeper.〔http://alt.obituaries.narkive.com/pE1a4iij/fred-harold-hale-1890-2004〕 In 1979, after 69 years of marriage, Flora died, leaving Hale to live independently for another 25 years.〔http://www.cojoweb.com/100-years-old-and-more.html〕
When Hale was 95, he visited his grandson in Japan. On their return trip, he stopped at Hawaii, where he surfed for the first time in his life. At 100, he visited Europe with his eldest son Norman and his daughter-in-law in order to visit the locations of his son's military service during World War II. Until the age of 103 he shoveled the snow off of his own roof, and he drove a car until the age of 108.〔http://articles.latimes.com/2004/nov/22/local/me-hale22〕 At 109 he left Maine for Liverpool, New York to stay with his youngest son, Fred Hale Jr. He later relocated to nearby Baldwinsville. After cataract surgeries at ages 109 and 110, he still had unusually good vision for a supercentenarian and continued to play cards until his death. Shortly before his death, Hale and his son moved to Jamesville, New York, where he received media attention for being the world's oldest Boston Red Sox fan when the team won the 2004 World Series, its first World Series since 1918.〔http://www.boston.com/news/globe/obituaries/articles/2004/11/21/fred_hale_sr_worlds_oldest_man_at_113/〕
