@@mrcavalier3370. Why?
'I am happy today, because I am still living'... what a joy to have you around for so many years!
I have no problem admitting I'm crying like a bitch at "all my friends are dead" that fucked me up. God Bless You Richard Overton.
R.I.P Richard Overton, you are an amazing person and thank you for your service. You will never be forgotten.
His family should make a book about him. We already have a documentary about him but a book would be amazing. So many more people around the world would be inspired
Damn. Made me sad when he said all his friends were dead..
Ben Phillips ikr same
Ben Phillips my grandpa tells me that all the time.
All my friends are dead? Push me to the edge?
He comes from the greatest generation, where men were men and loved America
He ain’t scared of nothing you can tell the way he say his words he the real one
What wisdom I think this just helped me Thank God for Mr Overton Rest in Peace 🙏✌💙❤
He said back in 1925 they couldn't get water. That's so sad
And he still lived through it, such a strong man
Respect to the OG Richard Overton.

I would buy his book if he had one out I think it would be interesting and I would get 2 life stories for the price of one.
I miss him, would of been awesome to meet him and hear these pearls of simple wisdom
Richard Overton is an American 🇺🇸 Legend! 🌟 R. I. P Sir! ✝️🕊
“I’m happy today ‘cause I’m livin’...” and “cigars and whiskey - they make me feel good...” are two of my favourite R.A. Overton quotes. Requiescat In Pace.
R.I.P Mr. Overton
Not easy though he is lucky to b alive still living in a world rapidly changing very diff what a world he had before where he can't cope with the changes because of his age all he is doing is going back remembering the past his experiences giving word of wisdom sharing his thoughts minds belief he is a treasure for the young his past but he finds hard to be part of the present modern world now he is gone all he left is sweet memories rest in peace sir thank you for your service to the country finally u will meet ur comrade again
Mr. Overton had a rich and wonderful life !
He had quite a life growing up as well. Grew up in places most Austinites themselves didn’t even know about in nearby communities like St. Mary’s Colony and Creedmoor. His father was a sharecropper and on cold winter mornings, he and his father would be sitting by the fireplace drinking Gordon’s gin. 😊
There's nothing that any of us could tell this man that he hasn't heard at one point or another in his life
if anyone deserves celebrity status its this guy
Back in '25?? 🤯🤯🤯
This man don’t play he will mess u up if he was still alive he look like he could beat your ass with his pinky finger. This man is a hero and happy Veterans Day to all the veterans
He had a lot of wisdom and was blessed.
I wish I could meet him
We will when it’s our time to go
Big inspiration👏🏾💓
Thank you....
LORD. MAY. MR. OVERTON LIVE. AGAIN IN THE NEW. WORLD 🌎 YOU HAVE MADE FOR YOUR. KIDS. TO LIVE FORVER ✨ IN BE HAPPY 😊 😇🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻☝🏼
The secret to life.... keep your cheerios in the oven!
It was a home built in the 1940’s. They didn’t have a bunch of storage space like now. But yes, the oven should be for pots and pans for a small home, not cereal!
I wish I were smart enough to build a time machine he seemed like such a nice man to meet in person.
1:47 😞
Yeah, I do remember KISS, Led Zeppelin. I was an old man back then.
lol who else saw him get the cereal out of the oven? LEGEND!! Rest In Peace
R.I.P Richard Overton...
I’m happy today cause I’m living.
Rip
I wish he was still alive so I could have met him
The day in the life of your average retired senior citizen basically.
No different than my 94 yr old grannie.
Unfortunately she died recently too of the same disease that took Dick Overton.
1:39 Why does he put his cereal in the oven?
Kaiden Forbes exactly what I was wondering maybe he just didn’t have any room in his cabinets but idk
He probably never uses the oven for cooking so he uses it for storage space. I've known elderly people to do this.
Same reason I put cereal in our RV face down in the cabinets. Face down and no room elsewhere.
Amen god bless
Could anyone tell what cigar he was smoking?
Tampa Sweets
☮️
At least he gets to reside by his friends now
1:37 storage space
I feel like if he had quit smoking he probably could still be alive today look at 119 yr old Kane Tanaka.
He didn’t ravage his lungs with tobacco, just his mouth. Dentures as a result, but fortunately no tongue, gum, or throat cancer ever happened.
He did it the healthy way. Tobacco is a nootropic
What cereal is he eating?
Honey nut cheerios.
That reporter reminds me of kamala harris
He was smaller in size than I thought... *Q: WHY was the cereal box in the oven? - **1:39*
He probably didn’t have a large pantry. Most 40’s era homes were small and pantry and closet space were very little back then.
don't smoke cigar man. the you lasting so many years
Ananta Video Gohain you're like 12 what do you know about cigars
