CRYSTAL FALLS -- Saturday, Larry Gill celebrated his 100th birthday in Crystal Falls with dozens of friends and family.

He says he doesn't have a secret to his "sucess" and never expected to make it to 100.  He says he's always stayed busy with many hobbies and recommends living each day to the fullest.

"Live the best you can, see how long you can live, do what you can do while you're living, otherwise, you'll never be doing anything again," says Gill.

Five generations of family members made it to the party.

Larry Gill worked in mining and construction for most of his life.

Happy Birthday, Larry!
