John Tinniswood, the world's oldest man according to Guinness World Records, died at 112 on Monday. He died at a care home in Southport, northwest England, surrounded by "music and love," his family told Guinness World Records in a statement. Born on August 26, 1912, in Liverpool (the same year the Titanic sank), Tinniswood lived through two world wars and two global pandemics. During World War II, Tinniswood served in the Royal Army Pay Corps. After the war, he built a career as an accountant in the oil industry, retiring at age 60. He met his wife Blodwen at a dance before marrying her in 1942, during the height of World War II, while serving in the Royal Army Pay Corps, which was in charge of finances and food supply. When Guinness awarded him the title of world's oldest man in April, he said his longevity to "pure luck." "You either live long or you live short, and you can't do much about it," he said. He believed in living moderately, never smoking or drinking excessively. Tinniswood had a regular diet, with his favorite meal being battered fish and chips every Friday. His family described him as intelligent, decisive, brave, calm in crises, talented at maths, and a great conversationalist.
