Jack Coe’s is one of those stories that could inspire a movie. He was born in a tent in Gorton St. Bulls on May 11, 1916, at the height of the World War, and lived virtually his entire life – until the age of 107 – in the New Zealand towns of Marton and Bulls. During World War II, he ended up defending a U.S. Air Force base in New Caledonia, and was a life member of the Marton RSA<\/a> (supporting New Zealand veterans).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday he celebrated his 107th birthday with a birthday card from King Charles, a piece of caramel popcorn cake and a non-alcoholic beer alongside family, friends and other residents at St. John Wood Care Center and Village (Taupo). The NZ Herald echoed his celebration as New Zealand’s longest living man, and thousands of people congratulated him and wished him well on his day (some of them via this Instagram post).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
