The GRG announces the age validation of Herbert Wolding. Herbert O Wolding, known as Herb, was born in Portage County, Wisconsin, USA, on October 15th 1912. On July 20th 1934, Herbert married Evelyn Henke and they went on to have two sons. They had a very long marriage, ending when Evelyn passed away in April 2011. In 1935, Herbert started a milk delivery business, which is still in operation today – Herbert was still visiting the office at the age of 106! Herbert passed away on November 17th 2023 at age 111 years, 33 days. He died in the same county of Wisconsin he was born in.
Herbert’s age was verified by myself and Waclaw Jan Kroczek, later accepted as valid by the GRG on December 27th 2023.
