Incredible 102-year-old still parks cars for a living

4/10/2012

102-year-old Joe Binder has a 48-year-old girlfriend who he takes dancing, goes bowling with his 98-year-old and 93-year-old sisters and still shows up every day to the same job he has had for the past 25 years, parking cars as a valet at a restaurant in the Bronx. Binder, who started driving when Model Ts still graced roads, just renewed his license. "I'm good until I turn 110 years old," he says. Binder says the secret to his longevity is being childless and kindness: "I've been very nice to people in my life. I got hurt along the way, but I turn the other cheek and forgive those who have wronged me."
