He served in WWI and WWII.

Just imagine how much the world has changed. When he was born, the "modern" automobile was barely invented and he was old enough to remember the Wright Brother's flight (he would have been 6 or 7). He grew up in a world that grew out of the Victorian age and into not only the nuclear age, but also the internet age.
He saw the entire 20th century. WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, War on Terror, the Cold War.
He saw TV and radio both become invented and a staple in most homes in Europe and the USA. He saw the invention of the computer and the entire life of the internet.
Movies went from flashing-black and white silent films to modern day CGI packed feature films.
He saw the invention of the airplane (Wright Brothers) and also watched us go to the moon, and send probes and robots to Mars (and other planetary bodies).

He definitely lived a full and enriching life. RIP.
